Sinopsis(1)
Un escritor (Ewan McGregor) es contratado para escribir la "autobiografía" de Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan), ex primer ministro británico. Pero no es el primero: el escritor que comenzó el trabajo murió en extrañas circunstancias. Lo que al principio parece una gran oportunidad económica, deriva en una peligrosa investigación, cuando descubra información comprometedora que puede suponer un escándalo político internacional. El escritor ya no está a salvo. (Aurum Producciones)

Un largometraje de promoción de BMW, en el inconfundible estilo de Polanski. Imágenes oscurecidas y lluviosas compuestas de manera quisquillosa, actuación sinfónica colectiva. La trama es solo una necesidad para todo esto.

Very well crafted, with a gloomy rainy atmosphere, but pretty much about nothing, unfortunately. Given how relatively (unnecessarily) long it is, it almost lacks a twist or a climax. It has a lot of politically biased commentary, but only one tense scene. I must say that Polanski has quite disappointed me with this film. When it comes to tension, it’s only a weak tea of the genre’s best, though with great execution. Compared to this year’s Shutter Island, The Ghost Writer is the clear loser.

It is almost admirable how Polanski managed to create a small cinematic treat out of a seemingly dull, shabby and not very exciting premise. Everything from the actors to the pleasantly old-fashioned direction works like a Swiss watch, the tension is not created by flashy moments, strained dialogue or, God forbid, action, but by an omnipresent paranoid atmosphere, the distant setting and the eternally cloudy weather. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised by the final twist (although the film doesn't stand on it) and I applaud Polanski for the ironic slap to the unprepared viewer at the very end. 4,5*.

It's not really rocket science, as we learn at the end, but Polanski pulls the viewer along very skillfully throughout. The cold and distant atmosphere created by the weepy weather and one architecturally ornate house works. It's not classic "schizophrenia," but McGregor's paranoia grows to unsuspected proportions as the minutes tick by, especially with the equally excellent ensemble cast around him, and I waited for the climax with the eagerness of a small child. The handing of the tickets is one of the most intense scenes of the year. 4 ½.

Stylish comeback. Inscrutably mysterious plot in an indistinctly attractive environment with an atmosphere of subtle absorption - I expected many things, but definitely not such a self-assured exploration of paranoid moods or political intrigues. That tangible feeling of tightening loops I still can't shake off.
