There are several fine actors-Elizabeth McGovern and Aidan Quinn also play memorable, if brief, roles-but the cinematography steals the show here, giving this anti-Utopia the same oppressive tension as the original 1984 and far surpassing any version of Brave New World. The bright colors are oppressive in their uniformity, whether in the "ceremony"-Robert Duvall's passionless copulation with Natasha Richardson as she lies in the lap of his sterile wife, Faye Dunaway-or in the party to celebrate the birth of a handmaid's child, or the execution of another handmaid for fornication.
The handmaids in brilliant red, the wives in electric blue, the children in white-Margaret Atwood's neo-fascist state comes startingly alive in Schloendorff's film. Reviewed by ddelamaide 8 /10 Startling visual impact Schlöndorff is a giant of the New German Cinema, and it underscores the ignorance of the Hollywooders when they cast such baseless aspersions. As a matter of fact, to insinuate that someone who could bring Grass' Tin Drum to the screen in such a stunning fashion is a lousy director is PREPOSTEROUS. Perhaps before they weigh in on the auteur, they ought to see "Young Törless", "Coup de grâce", "The Tin Drum" and all of his other wonderful efforts. Seriously, two of the reviews on this site made spedific mention of Schlöndorff's "horrible", "atrocious" directorial skills. I get the feeling that most moviegoers are looking for something else in "sci-fi." Here's a new plot twist: The rebels feed Kate some kind of medication that allows her to read the commander's mind while destroying his brain. In Gilead, the lines are clearer in our own society, aren't most women "supposed to" play some combination of all of these roles? by splitting up these functions, hasn't Atwood described the basic roles that women play within our own male-dominated society, in various different permutations and combinations? To the patriarchy, women are mothers, models, sluts, angels and, when professionals, they are not to aspire to more teaching posts. A fifth function, for which the garb is particularly interesting, is "working" in Gilead's underground social club (essentially a den of iniquity, rife with prostitution and drugs.) Point is. Brown is worn by the "aunts", a futuristic equivalent of the Sonderkomando (i.e., Jews who worked on behalf of the Nazi's in the death camps), evil schoolmistress types who both train/brainwash young women for assignment and occasionally destroy them. Women have three main functions (for which their clothing is color coded): Red for the handmaids, who are walking wombs white for the innnocent children blue for the sterile trophy wives.
in which a right-wing, bureaucratic patriarchy dominates the land. "The Handmaid's Tale" is a dark portrait of a world unlike ours and yet so much like ours. What holes here?Ĭommercial film doesn't get any better. Personally, I thought it was a fantastic cast: Robert Duvall and Victoria Tennant at their evil best Faye Dunnaway as the "defeated" wife Elizabeth McGovern as saucy as ever Aidan Quinn and Natascha Richardson in the necessarily bland roles that drive the narrative. How can you go wrong with a Margaret Atwood book, a Harold Pinter screenplay and Volker Schlöndorff's direction? Some have suggested that the film suffered from "wooden" acting. In my opinion, it represents the best kind of literary adaptation that the cinema offers: One in which the screenwriter and director clearly remained faithful to the spirit of the book without attempting to reproduce it. I'm surprised by some of the negative comments on this film.
