The
Messenger est of non Importante!!
Stigmata is a brilliant religious thriller with stunning visual
images and great acting. It also have a great story. I saw it
twice in a row, and the second time I listened to the
commentarytrack by Director Rupert Wainwright. It is a great
commentary and highly informative and entertaining. Oh I love this
movie. Many have written that Stigmata is an Excorcist wannabee
and rip-off, but I don`t think it is. The Excorcist is after The
Godfather my all time favourite movie, and even if there is a tiny
resemblence in some scenes, the plot is entirely different in
Stigmata. There is a case of posession in Stigmata, but it can`t
be compared to the posession in The Excorcist. Patricia Arquette,
Gabriel Byrne and Jonathan Price are all great
in this movie. But the director`s visual filming is the greatest
about the movie. Stigmata has a flawless picturequality that maybe
is some of the best I`ve seen yet. The sound kicks butt too, and
really helps to drag you into the stunning visual world of
Stigmata. I don`t want to reveil the actual story for those who
still haven`t seen it, but it is very intelligent. This
is a movie to enjoy over and over again, and you get to choose
between the director`s ending and the theatrical. That`s something
I like to see more of ( Studio`s are you reading this? ). The
exstra`s are good too, and there`s a hidden animated
storyboardsequence which is very cool. You`ll find it on the
ultracool animated main menu. Press up arrow on your remote, and
enter at the top of the cross. This film belongs in every
Dvdcollection. Stigmata gets full score - 6.
