The acclaimed New Zealand director
Jane Campion (THE PIANO) here turns her unusual artistic
eye toward the urban erotic thriller genre. Based on the
novel by Susanna Moore, IN THE CUT tells the story of
Frannie (Meg Ryan) an English teacher living in
Manhattan's East Village who finds herself mixed up in a
homicide investigation after a severed head turns up in
her garden.
Jennifer Jason Leigh is her sexually unhinged
half-sister and Mark Ruffalo plays a homicide detective
on the case who falls into bed with Frannie after she's
attacked on the Lower East Side. Suspects include her
stalker ex-lover (Kevin Bacon) and a troubled student (Sharrieff
Pugh) who's obsessed with serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
As the body count rises however, Frannie realizes that
the prime suspect just may be the very cop in her bed.
If this all sounds like a by-the-numbers sex crime
thriller don't worry; Campion twists the genre towards
her own ends, adding multi-layered focus, deeply
saturated colors, a dream-like mood and copious amounts
of feminist allegorical symbolism. Meg Ryan fans should
be shocked by her performance here (replete with several
nude scenes), which is a major departure from her usual
cute characterizations. Nicole Kidman, who starred in
Campion's PORTRAIT OF A LADY served as producer. Fans of
that film, and Campion's work in general, should enjoy
the perverse psychosexual theatrics on display in this
grim urban fairy tale!!
