The digitallyobsessed.com Web site has just posted a new review of the
Daughters of Darkness DVD that's worth checking out. Not surprisingly it singles out John Karlen's performance - but it also says something that went completely over my head:
intriguingly, his portrayal gets an added depth not so much from anything he does but from a cutaway when we learn who exactly his mother is. It's a mind-blowing little sequence that puts everything into a new context, and it's really quite independent from the story proper.Granted, it's been at least 5 years since I've watched DoD, but I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't even recall that sequence/revelation :- (though I do seem to remember that Stefan has [spoiler]some past history with violence/abuse).[/spoiler]Could someone refresh my memory (using the forum's spoiler tags so as not to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen the film)?
