Passion
(France/Germany, 98 min.)
Written and directed by Brian DePalma
Rachel McAdams, Noomi Rapace, Karoline Herfurth, Paul
Anderson
Passion is a
turkey! A remake of the 2010 French misfire Love Crime, Passion is a sleazy erotic
thriller that pits The Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo’s Noomi Rapace as the victim in a deranged lesbian love
affair that ends in murder. From a fatally miscast Rachel McAdams to a farcical
soundtrack by Pino Donaggio, which might be the worst score ever recorded on
film, every element of Passion reeks
of overblown camp.
