Michael Winterbottom - I Want You (1998)

A young boy and his sister are drawn into one man's obsessive pursuit of his former lover.

This neo-noir British crime drama, set at a decaying English beach resort, begins with a body dropped from a pier. Hairdresser Helen (Rachel Weisz) goes with local deejay Bob (Ben Daniels), but mute bicyclist Honda (Luka Petrusic), who secretly tapes people's conversations, meets Helen at the beachfront and begins sending her flowers. Honda's sad nympho sister Smokey (Macedonian-born Labina Mitevska) sings at a local club. A figure from Helen's past, the enigmatic, mysterious Martin (Alessandro Nivola) checks out Helen but keeps his distance. Irritated that Helen won't sleep with him, Honda plans a way to embarrass Bob with the secret tapes, while Martin and Helen renew their relationship. Polish cinematographer Slawomir Idziak, famed for his filtered filming for Krzysztof Kieslowski's (Blue), captures the dark, visual tone of obsessive love, while Elvis Costello's 1986 song I Want You is heard throughout.

Helen es una joven que trabaja en un salón de belleza, mientras su novio Bob lo hace como locutor de una emisora de radio local. Honda es un niño mudo que graba en secreto conversaciones de otras personas y Smokey es su hermana, empleada en un bar local. Martin es un tipo misterioso que acaba de llegar y comparte una oscura historia del pasado con Helen. Honda se enamora de Helen y comienza a grabar sus conversaciones con Bob... (FILMAFFINITY)
