What critics compared Color of Night to
As Charlie Kaufman’s Adaptation so brilliantly satirized , there were a lot of hacky thrillers in the 1980s and '90s that included multiple personality gimmicks, and the worst one of all was probably Color of Night, the infamous Bruce Willis movie from 1994.
Dornan could have answered, “Have you seen The Story of O.?” Anyone who’s old enough to remember the old fear and hysteria caused by S&M movies like Luis Buñuel’s Belle du Jour and Tim Blake Nelson’s O and Adrian Lyne’s Nine 1/2 Weeks; or anyone who’s seen Bernardo Bertolucci’s Last Tango in Paris, Michael Haneke’s The Piano Teacher, and the trashily vicious Color of Night; or anyone who’s watched Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader in the imperfectly exciting Secretary, or watched Girls’s audacious second season or any year of Sex and the City is likely to leave Fifty Shades of Grey perplexed by its uncontroversial mildness.
Most of all, Split reminded me of Color of Night, the infamous, Willis-starring erotic thriller from 1994, and it even had the same ending, albeit replacing the sexuality with a ridiculous amount of mugging.
