| CENTER OF THE WORLD (2001) | |
|
|
Where is the center of the world? This is a rhetorical question as it is often perceived to be in the mind of the individual with the notion. In this film the center of the world surrounds the interpersonal relationship between a man, Richard (Peter Sarsgaard) and a woman, Florence (Molly Parker). This relationship has a monetary foundation as Richard has rented Florence for a three day trip to Las Vegas. Richard has developed a depression that is consuming his life as he is on the brink of making a big business deal, but his world is now obsessed with Florence and the erotic favors that she is performing for him. The notion "where is the center of the world" is apparent as the story unfolds, however, it is Florence's callousness and Richard's passion that spins the story as it brings the audience a decadent cinematic experience that is worth watching. |
