Although a three-actor film, they each represent a different facet of the country they live in at large, with one man conflicted between allowing brutality in a quest for justice and in giving absolute rights to someone who may be a rotten scoundrel.
While DEATH AND THE MAIDEN does feature some interesting drama, it's a bit gimmicky, and the cast, while undoubtedly fine actors, seem a bit out of place in their respective roles.
DEATH AND THE MAIDEN is a complex film given simple treatment, and makes for worthwhile viewing for its food for thought and good, tense dramatics.

Paulina suspects Miranda was the doctor who tortured and raped her 15 years earlier: the doctor, she says, who played the Schubert composition "Death and the Maiden" while he applied his evil ministrations.
Death and the Maiden lacks that gritty edge-of-your-seat suspense but makes up for it with a sick-to-your-stomach feeling through Paulina's recreations of her torture.
As a study of paranoia, mental anguish, and the morality of revenge, Death and the Maiden is a stunning success.

Redeeming the carte blanche ticket he earned for Chinatown's success, Polanski made The Tenant, a masterpiece of anguish that harks back to his earlier mindfucks Cul-de-Sac and Repulsion (in fact, The Tenant is all but a mirror image of Repulsion) while being more substantial than either of them.
The movie is, appropriately, about a ticking time bomb of a man trapped in an infinite cycle of misery.
The Tenant's 2.0 mono track is for whatever reason less shrill than Death and the Maiden's 2.0 stereo mix, but Bitter Moon has both beat with a Dolby Surround soundtrack of smooth fidelity and strong bass.

 Movie Poop Shoot - DVD Diatribe
The movie even vaguely, if perhaps unintentionally, quotes the original James Bond— that is, the ornithologist from whom Ian Fleming borrowed the name of his hero when he sat down to compose the first Bond book back in the '50s.
Movies such as last summer's xXx and any number of Hong Kong (and Korean!) action films tend to make the helplessly pro forma Bond seem pale and flaccid.
Weaver gets to vamp and scamper about naked while still maintaining her intellectual credentials, but in the end it's a dull film, and the disc comes with nothing, as if the world were always awaiting it on DVD and willing to take it on bare bones.
