THE CURVE (DIDIER BECU)
13 April 2004
Ever heard about those movies that are totally misinterpreted or ignored? The Curve (aka Dead Man's Curve) is such one. It tells the story about some students how found out that once a roommate commit suicide that they are graduated, to survive the shock. I have no idea if these rules are actually existing but it's enough for some students to play the game anyway... What follows is a great movie in where the viewer is switched from one situation to an other (who is who, who is dead...) and they're all lead by the pervert performance from Matthew Lilard (Thirteen ghosts, Scream) who plays the role of his life. To give it a much more suicidal character, director Dan Rosen opts for suicidial music like Bauhaus and The Smiths. Also watch out for the moviegames the students are playing (the parody on the Russian roulette=scene in The Deer Hunter is superb). Totally ignored movie, what a shame....
