Review of Fear X

Fear X (2003)
7/10
Good, but not as good as Winding's earlier work.
27 January 2003
I saw it on the third public screening ever and I must say that I'm satisfied, although not overwhelmed. It's an interesting story, great footage and it has a somewhat spooky feeling over it. I had pretty high expectations: the writer of "Requiem for a dream", the photographer of "Eyes wide shut" and the great (Danish) director Nicholas Winding Refn who has made two really great films in Denmark ("Pusher" and "Bleeder"). If you liked this film (and even if you didn't), please, try to find his earlier work, you'll be stunned, I promise.

Btw, the Danish people are great film makers so go see more of their films. For example: The mini-series "Riget" and "Riget II", "Nattevagten", "Idioterne" among others!
