Review of Driftwood

Driftwood (1997)
10/10
My favorite movie of all time...a woman's movie from our POV
17 February 2001
DRIFTWOOD is an outstanding movie focusing on a woman's point of view about men, sex and having a "fantasy man" as a captive in every sense of the word. The acting is superb...James Spader is very believable as an injured sailor rescued by a lonely artist who, unfortunately, is quite mad. Women will appreciate how the camera focuses on the beauty of a man's body and sexual pleasures from a woman's perspective (refreshing!!). The actress playing "Sarah" is absolutely wonderful in a difficult, demanding character study of a woman tormented by the ghosts of her past who seeks only to find love---no matter what it takes. This film is sure to become an "art film" favorite, especially among women who have always dreamed of having a beautiful lover on a remote island, albeit with a different outcome. Enjoy...
