![]() ![]() And then there are the Otherworlders themselves - the Bean Sidhes, the Selkies (I LOVE THAT THESE GUYS WERE INCLUDED YES!), and the Na Fir Ghorm - which make this tale totally larger than life. Then there are the characters (aside from Liam and Anna) - they also really contribute to this very thrown-back world where the Otherworlders are revered with the utmost respect to the point of absurdity, as Anna sees it. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was a good choice, and it set up everything that happened next really well. I found it interesting that Lindsey decided to make Liam the Other, and not Anna, the rich New Yorker, whose family has owned property on Dochas for the last 150+ years. I really liked that he was made that much "the other" for others to target, as the island itself is pretty "other" with all of its strange happenings, as we see later on in the book. Everyone but his employer, Francine, is cruel to him, and because of it, Liam is the ultimate sympathetic protagonist. From the jump, we have this immediate sense of what the island of Dochas feels like - a place thrown back in time compared to our current society, complete with the creepy mob-like villagers that think that because our MC has partial paralysis, that he's a "demon" waiting to happen. The first thing that really struck me about "Ashes on the Waves" was the immediate sense of the world. Show More book full of ghosts, monsters, mobs, and the question: what makes us human? I absolutely adored "Ashes on the Waves", and I hope you do too. ![]()

But the pace of the film is so slow in a long running time of 137 minutes, and the emphasis on certain shots so symbolic that the film begins to reassemble a heartless exercise in trendy camera angles and ponderous sentiments. There is a sterling performance from Kinski as Loretta Channing, the beautiful rich woman the hero meets, and Abril is impressive as Bella, the possessive mistress of Gérard. The director of Diva (1981) and Betty Blue (1986) also created this far less likable movie, with Depardieu unable to make a good impression as docker Gérard Delmas, a man obsessed with his dead wife and the man who raped his sister, who committed suicide. ‘We’re born in the gutter… where the stars gleam in the water.’ĭirector Jean-Jacques Beineix’s 1983 French revenge-obssessed drama The Moon in the Gutter is based on a novel by David Goodis, and stars Gérard Depardieu, Nastassja Kinski and Victoria Abril.
