Opulent, gorgeous, witty, snarky, more bitter than sweet

Opulent, gorgeous, witty, snarky, more bitter than sweet (which is fine by me) but somehow moving and tender after all. Not easy to care about a bored rich white woman, who has a nanny to take care of her child and a beautiful house and can travel anywhere...but it's Glenda Jackson! And all I have to do is observe her with keen interest and enjoy her lines; it is not necessary for me to feel for her plight. If only that were my crisis! And Michael Caine's character's jealousy is hilarious, as is his cantankerous nature and frequent state of drunkenness, which lead to very amusing horrid rudeness.

Good performances across the board and Stoppardian dialogue

Good performances across the board and Stoppardian dialogue help push the somewhat undercooked plot forward. Also those fantasy sequences are just incredible, wish there was more of them.

Well, women are an occupied country." This was

"Well, women are an occupied country." This was a strange one. Glenda Jackson plays, as she always does well, a restless desirer - emotionally and sexually unfulfilled in the role of mother and wife - who wants to reclaim some sense of freedom but can't bring herself to abandon her son. There's a bunch of really interesting commentary on how men and their society enslave women with just enough comfort that women feel guilty wanting more. Really enjoyed how sort of throwaway character Isabel drops a whole bunch of badass knowledge on Michael Caine as he screams in her face like a busted 5 year old throwing a tantrum. Caine, a writer who is so overwhelmed with jealous suspicions about his largely innocent wife that he not only decides to write a screenplay about her cheating on him, but he also invites a total stranger into their home and shoves them together as much as he can in an attempt to catch them cheating. Then Helmut Berger acts as basically a blank catalyst, like a Germanic hustler Albert Camus just rolling with whatever life throws at him. The top problem with the movie is that they get too lost in telling the story from Caine and Berger's point of view, when Glenda Jackson is really the only truly interesting character in the entire film. I'd be curious to see if the book is a little more fleshed out? Either way, it's definitely an interesting watch but Stoppard and Losey keep the focus too boys-club to truly get to anything emotional here. And finally - the poster for this just has like absolutely no basis in this film and it's kind of funny. I mean, she gets naked but never like THAT. Also why in god's name would you feature Michael Caine's dumb face over Alan Delon rip-off hottie Helmut Berger???????? Buncha men making bad decisions all around with this film, man.
