For its Slow pace with very minimal dialog definitely this isn't a movie for everyone but anyway I'm very thankful to Fort for the rec. I liked it.

I could not agree more, awesome flick.
The Ghost Writer (2010). A sublime political thriller, Polanski is still at the top of his game. Sans the cheap tricks employed to glean audience support, this flick is good old-fashioned story-telling glorified. Our protagonist, a blank slate thrown into a pit of potential vipers of every color, seamlessly navigates the hazards in the blundering way of the typical soggy writer. The acting was top notch on all accounts, and yet Olivia Williams raised her craft above and beyond. Of course, the direction was nothing short of stellar, and Polanski's attention to detail gave this thriller not a look, but a feel of authenticity. The camera work and shot composure were laudable in their subtle perfection. And that score; my pulse throbbed right along with it, accolades only to be topped by the slight smile whose curvature paralleled its crescendo. In all, this flick might go into the vacuous annals of cinematic perfection. Merci beaucoup.
