Review of Claire Dolan

Claire Dolan (1998)
9/10
A glass prison
9 January 1999
The film begins with a series of views of NYC buildings, their windows reflecting like mirrors. A beautiful opening scene which let us feel beauty yet hostility. The same feelings as with Lcy, or should I say Claire (Katrin Cartlidge), a deluxe prostitute, working for a pimp she says she has a debt to. And Claire is really trapped in this glass prison, her world is full of mirrors which sometimes let us see the pimp's face and the scenes show the faces caught in close-ups. With the death of her mother, her meeting of a loving man and perhaps God's bless (given to her at the funerals), she will finally get to redemption.
