The Lost Door (2008)

I had to view The Lost Door in two times, because the first viewing freaked me out somewhat. After this mental 360, I was able to discern the balance between the love, sex and hatred that a lot of people have abandoned behind their own internal doors, lost deep inside themselves. There is a basic equilibrium essential to every human being and its absence leads to a basic neurosis."Who loves a relationship for its stability can unite with a table", Marc more or less says in the film. I would add: "who loves only the warmness and humidity of a sex can unite with a cooked vegetable!" Extremes lead to hatred: the body expresses revolt . The rape, the murder…A cinematographic production, with imagery and editing that's worthy of the photographer's eye, which incites to consult our own spiritual balance.

"The Lost Door" to me, is a poetic roller-coaster trip. What I mean by that, is that the viewer may be overwhelmed by the film. There is so much to see! You really need to see the film more than once to fully appreciate it. Kristina's memories, I call them "glimpses from her mind", are filmed in a visually beautiful way and accompanied with poems and great music, that is composed by Roy Stuart himself. I think they are pieces of art in themselves. I have seen "The Lost Door" several times now and I think it is a piece of art and a must see! The visuals, the sound and the story makes you think.

I took pleasure in watching The Lost Door.It is poetic and very beautifully filmed, this in contrast to the dark subject. I love the acting and the story, how it enrolls and how it ends in a surprising way. I was swept away by the poetry and the play with music and sound versus speech. More than an erotic film The Lost Door is a statement and an invitation to explore our human condition and so-called free will. It is much deeper than one would expect, pretty much an art pamphlet that puts new light on human relations.The different layers invite to watch the movie several times. Which I intend to do.There is so much to be enjoyed.

I have seen the movie a couple of times...and I could...probably will... look at it more often. It's a piece of contemporary Art, in mine eyes, which triggers my perception in many ways. Like; what's the movie trying to say? Every time that I look at it I see different things. Things such as; Light instead of heavy, a flash trough the head, earth, sex?, live/death, good/bad, pleasure and most of all nothingness; pop up in my head. The whole thing is beautifully done in Mr. Stuart's typical style. I see interesting looking people, a lot of emotion triggering my own and its pleasant and quite unique (to me). The pale, cold and natural look make the movie pretty and erotically stimulating in a chic hysterical kind of way. It leaves me thinking; it doesn't really matter. And; it tastes like more. I cant completely understand / put my finger on it, it being the movie, and I think that that the Artist's intent is. Cause that's what keeps on playing in my mind strongest after having watched it. Very Nicely done!
