Brilliant and touching

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This film is thriller and horror film. Actually, I watched this film for Willem Defoe. I think, Willem Dafoe is the best actor. First, I didn't understand the subject of this film. Thete were a lot of name and different events in there. But after, I understood events. Willem Dafoewho is a police in the film is Stan Aubray. There was a serial killer and he pursuit of Stan. The serial killer killed people looks like a picture. This is very disgusting for me. The killer killed a person and he cut him looks like masterpiece:( Stan found the killer but at the end of the film he was died. Stan shouldn't be dead, for me. I am very disappointed about it.

This is an interesting idea gone bad. The hidden meanings in art left as clues by a serial killer sounds intriguing, but the execution in "Anamorph" is excruciatingly slow and without much interest. There is no other way to describe the film except boring. The death clues are the only interesting part of "Anamorph". Everything connecting them is tedious. Willem Dafoe gives a credible performance as the investigator, but he has little to do with a script that is stretched to the limit. Several supporting character actors are wasted , including Peter Stormare as the art expert, James Rebhorn as the police chief, Paul Lazar as the medical examiner, and most notably Deborah Harry, who is featured on the back of the DVD case, yet only has a couple lines spoken through a cracked door. Not recommended. - MERK

This movie is about serial killer who makes an artwork of his victims. It sounds great but it isn't exactly a movie which could be compared with Se7en or Silence of the lambs. It's well filmed, the acting was great and the plot seemed to be interesting but something was missing. It was sometimes boring. I'm a big psycho killer thriller fan but what is the most interesting in these kind of films to me is killers psychological portrait and the reasons why he is doing it(if he kills only for art there must be something wrong with him and I would like to know what). Anyway there were few original deaths(unfortunately process itself wasn't shown) and there were many famous actors but most of them appeared only for few minutes or less. So if you like psycho killer thrillers you should watch this one and maybe you'l like it.

you must be seeing my comments over many films under Evren Buyruk ..I am off to make another comment over a movie that is not even worth a minute of talking though..This film is basically two hours of Dafoe's character drinking himself - nearly literally - to death. The only surprise in this film is that you didn't have enough clues or character knowledge to be surprised. It was just a grim, sad waste of time.Willem Dafoe is excellent actor. Peter Stormare is an excellent actor. But this film just sucked. Slow doesn't make the movie bad, it was just bad. The sketchy plot mixed with artistic ramblings of anamorphic detail aren't cohesively drawn together in a meaningful way for a plot except to highlight some gore which is illustrated from several perspectives, finally at the end. I really appreciate the artistic vision, but as entertainment, it put me to sleep. (Seriously, I fell asleep and had to re-watch the film - which was even more disappointing.) I generally don't like to make negative comments or reviews on the works of others, even when they suck, but this film warranted one. It's just too bad that these great actors were shamed with this end result.
