The Serpent's Kiss


Didn't expect much from this one to be honest. Turned out to be a really good movie. Ewan McGregor plays a young garden architecht who has been hired by a landlord to make a garden he will be remembered for after his passing.

Of course, it turns out there are some ulterior motives...

The film plays very differently from what you might expect, with one of the key characters being the mentally disturbed daughter of the landlord and themes focusing a lot on the opposition between the desire of man to create order and uncontrollable, wild Mother Nature.

The movie surprised me big time. It's sharp, poetic and just as entertaining as it is interesting.

9/10
