Masquerading fun
Masquerade is a nifty tight thriller that’s fun, and wonderfully packaged as one with kick, and some real big shocks, nasty twists that sting, all done in an impressive duration of 88 minutes, in an ’88 hit surprise, in which so many things happen. Lowe is well cast, and does do the role justice, as a born yachtsman/playboy, trying to work his way up the ranks, by sleeping with hot young wives, and resorting to some deceptive and selfish motives, even graduating to murder. He falls for this young heiress (Tilly) who’s very good, hitting the role with honest to god, truth, as an innocent, naive young girl, who’s just lost her mother, and is fighting over her fortune with his last pig of a stepfather (excellent, the film’s firey star, bedding floozy, Delaney). Yeah, greedy motives, interwoven with jealousy on and betrayal make for this impressive little thriller. Savant is the other second best performance, as the jealous ridden cop, and childhood friend of Tilly’s. There’s an even aftershock on Lowe’s part, an act of retraction, you might say, which was another feature that impressed me like every surprisingly good performance from the cast, in a thriller that’s fun, where at the end of the too short duration, we’re kind of sad the ride is over.

Things aren’t what they seem
This is a superb thriller, which is given an extra dimension by the wonderfully sensitive performance of Meg Tilly in the lead. It is the film she made just before THE GIRL IN THE SWING (1988, see my review), in which her performance was absolutely spectacular. Here she was handed a two-dimensional character on the page and has transformed it into a four-dimensional person by the genius of her acting. An ordinary actress could have walked through the part and been competent but bland, and the film would have lost its zing. How many such films we have seen! But this film really works. The thriller plot is so ingenious, with some unusual twists, that I hesitate to reveal it. It is one of those double-cross and triple-cross stories. Tilly plays the innocent victim, fresh out of a good school and the orphaned heiress to a huge fortune, and obvious prey to various fortune-hunters. She owns eight houses all over the word, but the action takes place in the Hamptons on Long Island. The film is very well directed by Bob Swaim, an unusual American director who has made several films in French, and about whom little is publicly known. Few of his films are available with English subtitles, or at all for that matter. Someone ought to do a Swaim Revival. Swaim has an eye for good actresses, not just with regard to Tilly, but he has worked with Natalie Baye and Brigitte Fossey, for instance, so he instinctively goes for quality. The male lead in this film is played by Rob Lowe, perhaps best known today for appearing in the TV series THE WEST WING. He is just right for the part of the handsome but shifty young man who catches the eye of Tilly, having first passed through the arms and legs of the man-eating Kim Cattrall. Greed, greed, greed, that is the story, plus betrayal, betrayal, betrayal. Strong stuff.
