Code 46

[firecat]

The OH and I can't remember why we put the movie Code 46 on our Netflix queue. We liked it. So if you recommended it, thanks!

If you like atmospheric love stories with more-realistic-than-usual-in-mainstream-films sex scenes set in a multiethnic-flavored future and you don't mind a few asteroid-sized plot holes as far as the science fiction is concerned, you might like it too.

It's sort of like Gattaca meets Lost in Translation. Doesn't qualify under the Bechdel Rule, but has various women characters with minds of their own.

I watched Code 46 last year, and thought it was well done, but not as good as it could have been. I picked it up because I'm going through all of Samantha Morten's movies.

That's about what I thought. Are you liking her other movies?

_Jane Eyre_ was wonderful. I've never read the book, so the story was new to me. The performances were restrained and full.

_Under the Skin_ and _Morvern Callar_ were interesting, though I would imagine that both of them would have been just bad without her. I'm not that fond of stories involving self-destructive or cruel main characters.

She was one of the best things about _Minority Report_.

I always find it amazing the way she acts from the inside of her skull. Her forehead is so expressive.

I'll definitely check out her Jane Eyre if I can get past the notion of Rochester-with-a-mustache. [/shallow]

I agree with you about not liking certain kinds of main characters so I'll avoid those.

I liked her in Minority Report.

Well described.
