Cul-de-Sac Summary
Director: Roman Polanski
Genres: Comedy
Rating:
The fact that there isn't a single likeable character in Cul de Sac does not diminish its artistic value in the least. Ageing, furtively kinky Donald_Pleasence is married to sexy young Francoise_Dorleac. The couple's hermitlike tranquility is shattered when wounded gangsters Jack MacGowan and Lionel_Stander invade their home and hold them hostage. As Dorleac urges her tremulous husband to do something, the two criminals begin behaving in a fashion that can only inadequately be described as eccentric. Drawing upon two of Polanski's favorite themes-isolation and latent insanity--Cul de Sac actually improves upon each viewing, assuming that the viewer has the intestinal fortitude to sit through it once. Hal Erickson, Rovi
