He then challenges her to identify the quote. Madeleine Stowe is very good and Alan Rickman is just incredible as the Interrogator. Riveting.

She is accused of embedding political messages in her children's stories. Rare and intriguing movie, wish it had been in English. Radha Bharadwaj is an award-winning writer, director and playwright. This is one of those movies where the hair on my arms stood on end knowing that the potential for this to reflect a "true story" is there. In her extended monologue, she draws an analogy between child molestion and political repression.Offered one more chance to sign a confession that the interrogator himself calls a pack of lies, she refuses and is led out, presumably to be shot. There was an error retrieving your Wish Lists. This movie has tension in every gesture.
She protests that she is only a writer of children's books, towhich he responds quickly, "You can do anything with a child, as long as you play with him." "Bismarck," she replies.Apologetically, he offers to let her go and gestures toward the stylized double doors, but, as she nears them, he suggests she wait for the official letter of apology. Rickman should have gotten an Oscar for his acting in this film. As her image dissolves into blinding light, an intertitle, drawn from the words of Ghandi, reminds viewers that half the world's governments tortureDespite a splendid performance by Rickman, who can be intellectually cool, diffident or cruel, CLOSET LAND suffers from far too much artistic atmosphere. All that aside, THANK YOU for releasing this film on DVD.
A couple of scenes nearly made me cry. Still, CLOSET LAND does have a certain fascination as a piece of theater and anintellectual exercise on a pressing political issue. This film is definitely a must see.
The basic analogy about child molestation seems strained; the scant difference in their years suggests that it is not the same man. Amazon calculates a product’s star ratings based on a machine learned model instead of a raw data average.
Stowe is also incredible in this movie, and her intensity matches Rickman's in every way. An interrogator and a prisoner, alone in a room. Please try again. After years of only owning the "not-to-be-sold" promo video of "Closetland," I was thrilled to finally find it on DVD. (Violence, profanity, adult situations) I thought it was anything but boring - I was mesmerized from beginning to end.

Das Zweipersonenstück ist von der Besetzung her bereits phänomenal - nur Alan Rickmann ist entschieden zu jung, um der Freund der Mutter der Verhafteten (und zugleich Vergewaltiger der damals fünfjährigen Tochter - der Grund für ihre Verhaftung, da sie ein Buch "Closet Land" schreiben wollte) gewesen zu sein. The film starts off realistically enough, with a dark screen simulating the point-of-view of a blindfolded and handcuffed female prisoner (Madeleine Stowe). When she returns to her seat, he gallantly offers her his jacket and a cup of rum-laced broth and starts to reminisce about oneof her book signings he had attended. The charge: sedition. Bought this for a friend arrived very quickly, not my type of film but as long as he loved it doesn't matter! This movie is fantastic on so many levels, I don't know where to begin. Her complaints are answered by a cultured, sympathetic voice, followed by a coarser, tougher voice ridiculing the former's concern. She has written a children's book that he believes is an allegorical attack on the state. The interrogator muses that closets are the places for skeletons, secrets and conspiracies.
