'Passages' review: Five minutes into 'Passages,' a scene from a marriage takes a casually fateful turn, and one of the year's best films is off and running to destinations unknown. Tribune film critic phillipstribune has more.
Five minutes into “Passages,” a scene from a marriage takes a casually fateful turn, and one of the year’s best films is off and running to destinations unknown.
As we soon learn, Tomas leads with a voracious sexual appetite incarnate. He’s a beguiling, needy, Michael “Chorus Line” Bennett-sort of narcissist who shoots first and forgets the questions he might be asking himself later. After sleeping with Agathe the night of the party, Tomas cycles home, tired but giddy. Martin, we gather, has been in this cuckolded position before, though the script leaves the terms of their marriage, and the sexual histories of the characters, unstated.
The filmmaker has been here before. One of Sachs’ earlier films, “Love is Strange” starring John Lithgow and Alfred Molina,for the lamest of reasons. A few f-words. Nearly a decade later, we’re still dealing with a volunteer ratings board that does not know what it is doing, though you get the feeling it sleeps better at night as long as we continue to give brutality a free pass and sexuality every conceivable ratings obstacle.
