Storia
Recently orphaned heiress Olivia Lawrence meets Timothy Whalen, a young sailing instructor and playboy, on Long Island. Olivia's fortune of $200 million piques Timothy's interest, and he begins pursuing her romantically while also sleeping with his boss' wife for sport. As their relationship deepens, they encounter problems that seem to be overlooked by the local policeman, a childhood friend of Olivia's. The true nature of Timothy's intentions remains ambiguous throughout.
Riassunto
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.
