Ergo screenwriter Hossein Amini's directorial debut finds Mortensen perfectly cast in the Joseph Cotten — ish
role of Chester MacFarland, an urbane American touring Greece with his
glamorous wife Colette (Kirsten Dunst), perhaps less to see the ruins
than to avoid joining their ranks.
Robbie and Pine, usually seen in more
glamorous roles, are excellent (though Robbie seems more mature and knowing
than the sheltered Ann is supposed to be).
