Il produttore Pieter Jan Brugge per il suo debutto alla regia si \u00e8 ispirato ad una vicenda di cronaca nera accaduta nel suo paese d’origine, l’Olanda, ove fece molto rumore. Successivamente \u00e8 pervenuto alla conclusione che la storia aveva gli elementi per essere ambientata negli Stati Uniti, suo paese di residenza. Ne \u00e8 scaturito il thriller psicologico\u00a0In ostaggio<\/em>\u00a0(titolo originale\u00a0The Clearing<\/em>), e da buon produttore non si \u00e8 fatto mancare un cast prestigioso: Robert Redford, Helen Mirren e Willem Dafoe. Quando un film \u00e8 tratto da una storia vera il pubblico \u00e8 inevitabilmente pi\u00f9 coinvolto, non \u00e8 soltanto pura finzione, ogni personaggio potenzialmente potrebbe essere ‘uno di noi’. Eppure, nonostante tutte queste favorevoli premesse, il problema principale di\u00a0In ostaggio<\/em>\u00a0sono i pochi, troppo pochi, momenti di reale tensione, decisivi in un thriller, seppur psicologico. \u00c8 un peccato perch\u00e9, rispetto ai film su riscatti e rapimenti, c’\u00e8 l’elemento di originalit\u00e0 dello spunto e della riflessione sul sogno americano e sul prezzo che le persone pagano per raggiungerlo e quello che paga chi ne \u00e8 escluso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infatti Wayne Hayes (Robert Redford ) \u00e8 l’emblema dell’American Dream: ricco, piacente, ottimo lavoro, una perfetta famiglia con una moglie fedele (Helen Mirren) e figli affettuosi, una bella villa con parco e piscina, una vita che scorre tranquilla. Tutto come si vorrebbe che fosse, ma l’imprevisto ha il ghigno di Arnold (Willem Dafoe), ex dipendente che rapisce il suo vecchio padrone Hayes con il quale ha un conto in sospeso. Lo costringe ad una estenuante marcia attraverso i boschi e, all’infuori di un drammatico scontro fisico, il film fa perno sullo scontro verbale tra rapito e rapitore, da cui scaturisce una sorta di confessione di Hayes. Il sogno americano \u00e8 un Re nudo: Wayne ripercorrendo la sua vita e la sua ascesa al successo diventa consapevole del suo fallimento come uomo, uomo d’affari e marito. Percorso parallelo della moglie Eileen nell’interno ovattato della loro casa, la donna affronta con forza e dignit\u00e0 la caduta, una ad una, delle certezze, sino all’epilogo finale. Il fallimento \u00e8 la maschera di rughe ormai molto pronunciate del 67enne Redford, che torna in un ruolo impegnativo anche da un punto di vista fisico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
