Behind the Red Door (2002) |
|
NOTES |
A New York
based photographer desperate for work is sent on an assignment to
Boston. Once there she finds she's been set-up by her agent in an
attempt to re-unite her with her estranged brother who is dying with
AIDS.
Kiefer Sutherland plays the brother, Roy, as evidently gay though
secretive about some things, like his partner not leaving him but
dying from AIDS. Most of the film is taken up with the brother and
sister examining their upbringing with a violent father who was
acquitted of murdering their mother.
In the latter stages of the film close to death Roy is on a regime
of pills, an I.V. drip and needs a visiting nurse.
The acting is reasonably good but the flashbacks explaining the
family history become a painful intrusion.
