B

Ralph Fiennes acts with a capital A to inhabit the prickled skin of a mumbling, shuffling, scribbling schizophrenic in David Cronenberg's characteristically creepy picture about a man unraveling as he remembers childhood traumas. (Miranda Richardson plays both a gentle mother and a cockney-lewd whore.) The craft is visible -- Fiennes is busy in his tremulous inertia -- but the technique works in the setting, a clammy corner of London that evokes Cronenbergian human decay.
