I admired the balls of Passion and the fact that it was shot in original language (or as close as could be).

I am a Scorsese fan and found Temptation a very subtle and personal work but it is flawed and a little messy and didn't grab the essence of the book and David Bowie is terrible in it. However Willem Dafoe has always been an actor I have admired and his performance is seriously underrated.

I will go against the grain and judge the films as 'historical fact' (as it WAS supposed to have happened) so Passion wins by being that little more realistic. That too was flawed though.
