The Inner Life Of Martin Frost
A successful American novelist who has retreated into the country following the publication of his most recent book meets a most mysterious muse in director/screenwriter Paul Auster's elliptic psychological drama. His latest novel an instant success, famous author Martin Frost (David Thewlis) decides to celebrate by spending some quality down time in a remote country home. Awakening his first morning in the house, Martin is shocked to find that he is sharing his bed with a stunningly beautiful woman. Over the course of the next few days, Martin becomes increasingly fascinated with the mysterious visitor's radiating beauty and acute intelligence - eventually falling deeply in love with her. Could this woman who possesses an uncanny knowledge of Martin's life and work perhaps be the muse who will inspire his greatest work? The closer Martin tries to get to the woman the further she seems to drift away, a disturbing development that eventually leads the author to suspect that she is a figment of his imagination or a ghost that has somehow gained access to his most intimate thoughts.

Writer's block.
If you enjoy obscure, experimental films, you may enjoy this film. I found it too obscure and very boring. In fact, if I hadn't looked up Paul Auster to see who he was, I would have thought this was a first-time effort from some amateur film-maker, and a pretty poor effort at that.
I ordered it to see how David Thewlis, that fine supporting actor, would handle a lead role. Sadly, he was not a good choice for the part, which involved quite a lot of love-making and he looked uncomfortable with that. Nevertheless, he and Irene Jacob, well-known French actress, were the only good things about the film.
I will be looking out for the name of Paul Auster in future. To make sure I steer clear. That is,if he ever makes another film. -
