The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I think summarising the whole film I could to the least say that it is nicely filmedalthough the contents of it are not to my usual likes..maybe as a movie is not suited but to a particular kind of audience.However the main character Kristina has a very powerful presence and for that alone the film deserves to be seen and merits to be appreciatedI would recommend to watch this more than only ones as you may find that it has a certain provocative intentions that go behind expectations Mikaela Fisher is an astonish actressof a breath taking beauty and has got a real flair !!

I had to view The Lost Door in two times, because the first viewing freaked me out somewhat. After this mental 360, I was able to discern the balance between the love, sex and hatred that a lot of people have abandoned behind their own internal doors, lost deep inside themselves. There is a basic equilibrium essential to every human being and its absence leads to a basic neurosis."Who loves a relationship for its stability can unite with a table", Marc more or less says in the film. I would add: "who loves only the warmness and humidity of a sex can unite with a cooked vegetable!" Extremes lead to hatred: the body expresses revolt . The rape, the murder…A cinematographic production, with imagery and editing that's worthy of the photographer's eye, which incites to consult our own spiritual balance.

The Lost Door is an erotic thriller that straddles the line between fantasy and reality. This interplay is already a dominant theme in Stuart's photography and it is explored in a new light with the added complexities of dialogue, motion and music. The driving energy of this film derives from imbalanced relationships- captor and inmate; teacher and student; lover and seducer... The roles of domination and submission are in continuous flux; fantasy and reality become alternately indistinguishable as characters surrender to their desires and then succumb to reason.The cast of actors perform passionately and Nicole Auberger is a particular standout- both for her endearing naivety and phenomenal beauty. The musical score heightens the romance and intrigue, with sudden pauses of silence applied to good dramatic effect. Quirky details indulge us with insight into Stuart's creative mind: carefully captured reflections off a pair of sunglasses, the odd line of dialogue in Chinese, the humor of a tree shaped like a vulva.The outtakes and supplemental scenes are a must-see, particularly the beggar who fakes an injured leg. Stuart likes to explore different fantasies in his work and the hot beggar is a good one. Anybody who has spent time around Paris will understand.This is a complex and multifaceted film, the type that you will want to watch at least once.
