The Lost Door Trailers

Obsession, sex, and illusion are depicted in a series of parallel stories. The Lost Door opens while Kristina is being interrogated in a psychiatric hospital where she has been committed. Catherine, a young psychiatrist has been assigned by the court to discover what goes on in the deranged yet intriguing mind of this suspected murderer, haunted by ghosts and strange sexual situations. After a long confrontation, it's the mysterious Kristina who opens up the young psychiatrists mind to her own repressed desires.

Reviews
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
wordsfornothing There is little that is not a struggle or confrontation in life. This movie shows the showdown between two people, at opposite odds, who are not able to understand one another. But who may be the same. Production values are high, while production costs are well below almost virtually all studio budgets. And produced and directed by a singular artist. While there are structural problems in the script, an attempt was made to make up for them, that is obvious. Casting is uneven, but the actions and the situations of the characters are engaging and make the viewer want to see and listen to more. Stuart's photography and lighting, well-known via his books, highlight erotic and dramatic moments that bring to life real people in a contemporary art scheme of life: nothing matters, but that nothing is a matter of life or death.
felixelisabetta I think summarising the whole film I could to the least say that it is nicely filmedalthough the contents of it are not to my usual likes..maybe as a movie is not suited but to a particular kind of audience.However the main character Kristina has a very powerful presence and for that alone the film deserves to be seen and merits to be appreciatedI would recommend to watch this more than only ones as you may find that it has a certain provocative intentions that go behind expectations Mikaela Fisher is an astonish actressof a breath taking beauty and has got a real flair !!
dont-move I had to view The Lost Door in two times, because the first viewing freaked me out somewhat. After this mental 360, I was able to discern the balance between the love, sex and hatred that a lot of people have abandoned behind their own internal doors, lost deep inside themselves. There is a basic equilibrium essential to every human being and its absence leads to a basic neurosis."Who loves a relationship for its stability can unite with a table", Marc more or less says in the film. I would add: "who loves only the warmness and humidity of a sex can unite with a cooked vegetable!" Extremes lead to hatred: the body expresses revolt . The rape, the murder…A cinematographic production, with imagery and editing that's worthy of the photographer's eye, which incites to consult our own spiritual balance.
Erographic "The Lost Door" to me, is a poetic roller-coaster trip. What I mean by that, is that the viewer may be overwhelmed by the film. There is so much to see! You really need to see the film more than once to fully appreciate it. Kristina's memories, I call them "glimpses from her mind", are filmed in a visually beautiful way and accompanied with poems and great music, that is composed by Roy Stuart himself. I think they are pieces of art in themselves. I have seen "The Lost Door" several times now and I think it is a piece of art and a must see! The visuals, the sound and the story makes you think.
