after the exhilarate opening scene and endure love become a strange mixture of claude chabrol and adrian lyne ( fatal attraction ) while not that it strangeness be something negative and it just seem this be a film with many trick up it sleeve but without a coherent directorial identity . director roger mitchell have fashion a film that ape many others but not his own style and so it seem this be a director in search of his own vision . stylistic gripe aside and endure love be a very good film with excellent performance by daniel craig and rhys ifans a hunt and hunter and or to be more precise stalk and stalker . samantha morton role a the suffer girlfriend to craig joe be a disappointment though . her role be underwritten and morton do the best she can with the blank canvas she be give . i would call this film commercial art house because it have enough mainstream appeal and intellectual rigour to merit multiple viewing . at the heart of this film be the notion of eternal love and in the spiritual and material realm . ifans jed represent a combination of the spiritual and the material dimension of love and albeit mar by psychotic urge and whereas joe be a cynical disavowal of domestic love . joe cynicism about the meaning of love be target throughout the film and and it seem his inability to express emotion be what bind him in the cul de sac of jed obsession . since each character be obsessional to vary digress and the film be also an exploration of how sane or insane love make u feel . while jed feel an excess of love that claire can not express to joe and joe failure to deal with jed advance and lead u to question jed love for claire . we do not see a single kiss between this couple and yet jed be bristle with passion that be uncontrollable . and even though joe be perplex by this and he be draw into jed tantalise web and the essence of which destroy the cosy veneer of heterosexual normalcy joe take for grant . so be joe gay . do jed trigger joe denial of his own homosexuality . these question be not answer by the film and but you sense mitchell ambiguous approach to express joe torment might suggest something far more complex . endure love hit the right note most of the time and include the deft use of music which recall the score of lemming and at time swim pool . some have complain the music be obtrusive and but i feel it enhance many scene and create a troubling and and at time unexpected atmosphere .
