Womb

 

A movie that seems to have escaped the concept of time, Womb is an hauntingly morbid love story.

In a world where clones are deemed as outcasts, Tommy a boy befriends a young girl named Rebecca. She leaves and comes back twelve years later to meet Tommy again. The two are estatic at being reunited again, but that happiness is short lived as Tommy's life is taken from him. Traumatized, Rebecca wants her friend back desperately. She is willing to do anything to bring him back-anything. So she bears a clone of Tommy in her stomach and gives birth to him as her own son. She raises him and as he gets older, she is torn between protective mother and desperate lover. She wants the Tommy she had before and in the end, they sleep together and realizing the truth of his life...Tommy leaves.

As strange as the concept of incest is, Benedek Fliegauf creates this movie in a way that seems timeless and beautiful. The scenery throughout the movie is absolutely gorgeous. Matt Smith seemed to bring about the quirkiness the Doctor from Doctor Who has, yet in a different way. Eva Green does a great job as the conflicted mother facing her past lover.

This movie does not have as much dialogue as a regular movie, but that serves it well as there is more meaning behind the actions of the characters than their words. Fliegauf did a very good job with this movie.
