![]() ![]() Smartly written, cleverly constructed, and frantically paced, it’s an old school thriller, calling to mind a cool Gallic mix of vintage Hitchcock ( North by Northwest and Vertigo) and a dash of The Fugitive. ![]() But where’s the fun in having the film have to hold your hand to get there?Īnd that’s the problem – because for much of its run time, Tell No One is, a lot of fun. ![]() Sure, the increasingly bewildering series of confusing actions and narrative non sequiturs actually all fall tidily into place in the end – everything does fit together, any potential plot holes are neatly plugged up. Tell No One opts for the full disclosure route out of a certain formal necessity – thematically and stylistically, it never feels like the type of mystery that would have been well served by retaining any ambiguity in the end.Īnd yet, I can’t help but feel that the very deliberate, step by step, bullet pointed explanation that eats up the last 20-minutes of the film is a bit of a cheat, pointing to the weaknesses of a plot that skimps so much on workable clues that the audience could never hope to untangle it without aid. Whether this flies right with you depends on whether you like your mysteries spelled out with airtight thoroughness, or whether you like them to remain, in the end, um… well, still a bit mysterious. Eventually, Tell No One tells you everything. ![]()

It can be seen as a poem about the way a single event is to be understood as part of a larger scheme the result of the god’s assault on Leda is the birth of Helen of Troy, the subsequent destruction of early Greek civilization, and the beginning of the modern era. Leda and the Swan is a violent, sexually explicit poem that has all of the lyricism and complexity of Yeats’s later work, with its plain diction, rhythmic vigor, and allusions to mystical ideas about the universe, the relationship of human and divine, and the cycles of history. William Butler Yeats’s daring sonnet describing the details of a story from Greek mythology-the rape of Leda by the god Zeus in the form of a swan-was written at the height of the poet’s career, the same year he received the Nobel Prize for literature. ![]() ![]() Originally published in the collection Different Seasons, it was made into the film The Shawshank Redemption. ![]() Suspenseful, heart-wrenching and hopeful, this iconic King novella is populated by a cast of unforgettable characters, especially the fiercely compelling convict named Andy Dufresne who is seeking his ultimate revenge.
