"Wicker Park ~White Lies~"


(C)2003 Lakeshore Entertainment. All rights reserved.

This love story was so painful and mysterious. If I remember right, this movie was remade of French movie, L'APPARTEMENT featuring Romane Bohringer, Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel.

Matthew who is young investment banker and has a beautiful fiance sees the woman who resembles Lisa in a cafe and the story begins. Lisa left him without saying anything around 2 years ago. And he finds the key of the hotel where Lisa is likely to stay. Getting her room, he finds weeping woman named Lisa but different person whom he expects to see.

In "Wicker Park", every character is lying and these lies are White Lies. Of course they don't attempt to rip apart somebody but all of them get hurt as a result. Matthew is concealing that he can't get Lisa out of his system. Lisa couldn't answer his proposal in a second. Luke who is friend of Matthew's and asking Alex for a date told a lie to Matthew as he already slept together. And Alex...

I could see in this movie that people can't help falling in love although they have trouble with it. Moreover, we might rip apart someone without knowing when we love someone.
