    Brownian Movement

    Reviewed by

    "Brownian Movement", a film from the Netherlands is truly a thought provoking movie, perhaps a bit too scandalous in what it wants to relay to an audience. Professional ethics of a doctor and random sex just might be beyond what North Americans, especially Americans are willing to tolerate (an examination of an intellectual woman's sexual life.) Any sexual idea beyond what might be labeled as the norm is taboo in most main stream America... less so in Canada! The film depicts extremely powerful emotions beneath what appears to be a pretty cool surface. It might help to point out that BROWNIAN MOVEMENT is the theory practiced by the doctor in question. No question this is not a film for the faint of heart, not for persons afraid to utter even inconsequential matters of SEX. I will grant that the situation depicted in the film is pretty heavy stuff, but something from which I would NOT shrink! Too many people have too many hang-ups about sex without even being able to explain why! Sex should be a private matter but even if it is not, why should I personally be disturbed by it. It simply is not my business nor should it be the business of others, especially the ones who want to be the first to cast the first stones. This is unconventional, daring film-making, but one which is quite beautiful as a piece of art. The film is lit and photographed with such loving care and director Nanouk Leopold catapults his two stars to such brilliant heights that one must say bravo to this work! I would add again that the sexual theory at work here bothered me NOT AT ALL! This is a fact I want to emphasize. Chalk it all up to one more experience in life or at least at the MOVIES! Devient sexual behaviour in the movies is NOTHING new BUT BROWNIAN certainly does throw a wickedly curve ball at you. Nothing quite like it!
