Death and the Maiden
1994
****
Director: Roman Polanski
Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, Stuart Wilson, Krystia Mova
Sigourney Weaver gives one her strongest performances as a South American woman who believes that her visitor is the man who raped and tortured her while she was imprisoned during the fascist regime.
This intense drama is based on a stage play by Ariel Dorfman. The film is stagy but very powerful.
