Cry of the owl
This is an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel ‘Cry of the Owl’ and is written and directed by Jamie Thraves. The movie involves a young man, Robert (Paddy Considine) looking for some solace in life. He leaves his ex-wife and goes to live in a town where he thinks nothing would disturb his tranquility. Once he gets there, he develops an interest in viewing the normal household chores performed by a woman, Jenny (Julia Stiles) by peering into her kitchen. On noticing the man, the woman does not get annoyed instead she feels a deep sense of sympathy for him. She invites him to her home and gradually their acquaintance grows into a serious relationship. The woman’s boyfriend, Greg (James Gilbert) comes to know of the affair and his anger is evoked. He seeks to kill Robert but in the assault Greg loses his consciousnesses and goes missing. Robert now emerges as a prime suspect in a murder case which begins to seem like a total hoax.
