tough stuff and but good stuff while my friend who insist i watch this be right to champion it . and it have more warmth in it than the movie i imagine after read two or three review in new york paper when it be show there at the ifc in autumn and 2005. i be sorry the description put me off see keane back then and because it painful nature make it hard to concentrate on it in my house . however there be a significant plus in home viewing due to a major extra on the dvd version of keane represent the alternate shorter edit make up by steven soderbergh . though i do not have the patience to review both version in toto i would say soderbergh make a snappy version and and i can see why he would have do that because the original version first 30 minute seem interminable and i thought i would watch an hour and it be half that . soderbergh be wise to put the look for work moment very early rather than after 38 minute and because it be well to start out with that . soderbergh also hold back a lot of the talk to himself passage and the hunting for the daughter bus station sequence which be so grueling and disturb until later and so we aren not too heavily hit too soon with keane severe mental problem . this be important because keane do want to appear normal and be capable of do so otherwise the whole relationship with the mother of the little girl would not have develop . a fine performance by the actor who play keane and damian lewis . in fact a lot of the review be very favorable and if not ecstatic . and this be how it have to be represent this movie be good and but it not for everyone . in grim realism keane be comparable to debra granik melancholy but convince down to the bone ( also show in nyc in late 2005 ) . keaneis different from the latter in contain element of mystery and be at time almost unbearably suspenseful . and kerrigan get u so close to his troubled character that be take to a hard place . because of kerrigan sympathy and actor damian lewis restraint i find myself more than once indulge in the unnerving thought that in similar circumstance i might not behave a lot more sanely than this myself . or maybe i be not any more sane . this film a some have note be not only a very specific account of a possibly schizophrenic man and but also a study of urban angst and a depiction of how crazy make urban space can become for every person who approach them without armor . michael atkinson statement about this be perhaps a bit too sweeping keane ( he say ) be a painfully specific figure but at the same time a totem and lean and frightening and for a morass of modern anxiety but the borderline between keane and u do indeed at time become hauntingly blur . certainly student of film edit will gain something from compare the two version by kerrigan and soderbergh . the finale be devastate . and the same in both version . i have not see kerrigan other movie but he obviously have carve out a niche for himself in which he operate with some distinction .
