Full Plot Details

Internationally acclaimed novelist Paul Auster ("New York Trilogy", "The Book of Illusions", "Man in the Dark") explores the art of writing in the darkly comical THE INNER LIFE OF MARTIN FROST. Having completed his fourth novel, Martin Frost accepts the invitation of friends to spend a few weeks in their vacant country house. On his first morning there, he awakes to find the beautiful and mysterious Claire Martin lying next to him. Intrigued by her presence, Martin finds himself compelled to write a new story. But as he progresses, he realises that his and Claire's fate are bound up in the tale he is telling. Employing the wit and intelligence of his literary work, and featuring excellent performances by David Thewlis (THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS), Irène Jacob (THREE COLOURS: RED) and Michael Imperioli (THE SOPRANOS), Auster's third film is both an intriguing mystery and a fascinating portrait of an artist and his muse.

Movie Reviews

Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by Christopher Nullthe conclusion comes across as tacked-on, padded to get the thing to feature length. That's an unfortunate way to wrap up an otherwise sweet little movie.
Film Journal International - 6/10 by Shirley SealyThanks to the lumbering pace of Auster's script and the lugubrious way he directs this ostensible romantic fantasy, Martin and his muse fail, miserably, to amuse.
New York Times - 4/10 by Matt Zoller SeitzA late appearance by a supporting character -- a pushy plumber and aspiring writer named Jim Fortunato (Michael Imperioli), who offers his mentally damaged young ward (played by Mr. Auster’s own daughter, Sophie) as a servant and possible concubine -- pushes the movie from bland pretension into distastefulness.
Slant Magazine - 4/10 by Ed GonzalezThe inner life of Martin Frost reeks of misogyny and the film that enshrines his egomania makes half-assed aspirations to Goethe.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Julia WallaceWhat starts out as a clever exploration of consciousness quickly descends into underplotted folly.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanPaul Auster's suffocating romance makes you feel as if you're helplessly stuck inside the head of the most pretentious person you know.
User Review - 10/10 by Mike OI thought that it was beautiful. That kind of love is unreal. It was whimsical, sad, loveing, and happy all at once. David Thewlis was wonderful. I can't help but watching it over and over again.
User Review - 10/10 by Kristine Twell, contrary to what appears to be popular opinion, i thought this movie was wonderful. the writer side of me connected to it most definitely, and i will admit that i have never read a paul auster novel. i am however a HUGE thewlis fan, and not only that but i'm a HUGE romantic, so this was pretty much a perfect movie for me. i loved it purely for entertainment value. plus i think it was cool that a couple of paragraphs or so of thewlis' book was actually written onset while he was filming this. and as for the acting, it thought it was quite excellent. just because it doesn't get all deep and dark doesn't mean there's no meaning to it, you know? sometimes you have to take things at face value. ok, i'm done.
User Review - 8/10 by Anthony Ade paul auster. estrOnho mas interessante em portugues "kimera". vai entender...
User Review - 8/10 by Rae BI've always like David Thewlis, so I had just decided to check this out. It started out kinda slow, and the story-telling-voice-over always seemed to disrupt the flow of the movie, but the story and the acting on their own were wonderful.
