Two Faces of January

Two Faces of January

Two Faces of January is a must-see for the landscapes, the clothes and most of all, the intrigue.

There was a rush out of the cinema after the closing credits of the eye and head-candy that is Two Faces of January (directed by Hossein Amini). No doubt everyone was in a hurry to book their flights to Greece. ?It hasn’t looked this good since the Oscar-winning Mediterraneo (1991) and Captain Corelli’s Mandolin (1994). Sadly, to really recapture the delicious spirit of the film, you’d need a time machine, not just an aeroplane.

Set in 1962, Oscar Isaacs (fresh from Inside Llewyn Davies) is the charming polymath Rydal Keener, a recent Yale grad who works as a tour guide in Athens, skimming a little bit of cash here and there off devoted American heiresses and unsuspecting tourists.? As con-men go, he’s whitebait. It’s a living until he crosses paths with a real criminal (Viggo Mortensen) and his wife (Kristen Dunst), who are on the run from the mob.? Suddenly, Rydal isn’t just explaining mythology, he’s joined at the hip with a minotaur in Brooks Brothers.

Unsurprisingly, this is the cinematic first cousin of The Talented Mr Ripley (also adapted from a Patricia Highsmith story)- you’ll be on the edge of your seat, hoping the good guy really is the good guy and if so, that he doesn’t have to succumb to an Olympian dose of injustice.
