Deep Water Review

Patricia Highsmith's 1957 novel "Deep Water" was published five years before Edward Albee unleashed George and Martha on the world, terrorizing social customs with a game of Get the Guests. Her book created a couple so toxic it took Hollywood six and a half decades to reimagine them.
After one producer told Highsmith that Vic and Melinda Van Allen were too psychopathic for the screen, the only director to take on their miserable marriage committed suicide after reading a draft of her script. Never a people person, Highsmith grumbled that the dead man owed her $12,000.
"Deep Water" is out this week on DVD and Blu-ray. It's a romantic thriller by erotic thriller guru Adrian Lyne, although it's been nine years since the now 81-year-old "Fatal Attraction" director first announced that he was going to direct it.
The hilarious potboiler "Deep Water" is set in New Orleans, that city humming with menace despite the film's chilling blue cinematography and coldly erotic score by Mr. Lyne. In the filmmaker's opinion, sex should be put back in cinemas or, at least, streamed on Hulu.
