Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
Ralph Fiennes plays a grown
man haunted by his childhood in
David Cronenberg's
stylized psychological drama
Spider.
Upon his release from a mental institution, Spider (Fiennes)
takes up residence in a halfway house. Paranoid, quiet, and forever making
notes, Spider spends much of the film remembering scenes from his youth,
specifically a horrific event from his childhood that occurred after he came
to believe that his father (Gabriel
Byrne) was having an affair on his mother (Miranda
Richardson). The psychological terror builds to a
climax that challenges how much the viewer can believe Spider's recollections
of the event.
Bradley Hall
plays Spider as a boy, and
Richardson
portrays many different women who come into contact with Spider.
Spider
was screened in competition at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.
