Riepilogo
Masquerade is a neo-noir thriller-drama from 1988 directed by Bob Swaim. The film revolves around the complex relationship between Olivia Lawrence, a young heiress seeking passion in her life, and Timothy Whalen, a charming but duplicitous sailing instructor with ulterior motives. Set against the backdrop of Long Island's wealthy elite, Masquerade explores themes of deception, desire, and the corrupting influence of wealth. The narrative is ambiguous and disheartening, offering a cautionary tale about the dangers of falling prey to one's desires.
