In Secret
"In Secret" is a costume drama with a gigantic accent on the drama. It's my kind of crazy, and I was quite entertained. To borrow again from Shakespeare, "'Tis Madness, but there's method to't."
In Secret,” the latest adaptation of Émile Zola’s “Thérèse Raquin,” opens with a dip in the water and quickly comes ashore with furiously galloping horses and sweeping camera movements. The galloping suggests urgency; the camera movements imply narrative grandeur, or maybe directorial ambition. The darkly muted colors, evoking gathering storms and winter chill, add a brooding note. The river that runs alongside the road like a parallel boulevard will probably mean something only to those who have read Zola’s book, a classic of literary naturalism, which was published in 1867 and greeted by one appalled critic as “a pool of mud and blood.”
