Shutter Island (as noticed by anyone who may have read of my possible Ziggy sighting on IMDB).

I rather liked it as it shares some aspects with one of my favourite films The Ninth Configuration.

It confused me to read that so many people saw the ending (which I will avoid discussing in detail for the benefit of people who haven't yet seen the film) as clear cut (one way or another).

I read it (the film being a separate entity from the book) as being deliberately left open to interpretation as which 'truth' is the real one (a good move in my opinion).

There are some subtle intensely odd moments, the performance were solid and the direction very guarded (which made the oddness even more unsettling).

Leo  (if the rumours were true) was a sad loss to the Star Wars universe going by what he does here (not really being a fan of his work up until now).

Well worth a watch and a ponder.
