One Hour Photo

Starring: Robin Williams (Sy Parrish), Connie Nielsen (Nina Yorkin), Michael Vartan (Will Yorkin), Dylan Smith (Jake Yorkin), Erin Daniels (Maya Burson)

Sy’s boss, Bill Owens (Gary Cole), fires him because he discovered discrepancies between the number of prints processed and the number of prints paid for. Before Sy’s last day of work, he finds out Will Yorkin had been cheating on his wife, Nina, when his lover brings in film showing the two of them kissing. Sy secretly gives the photos of the affair to Nina. When she sees them, she is shocked and upset, but doesn’t confront Will about the photos much to Sy’s dismay. Sy then decides to take action. To punish his boss, he brings in film to the SavMart to get developed (even though he no longer works there). Turns out the photos were of Bill’s little daughter. Bill calls the police. When the police arrive at Sy’s apartment, they discover thousands of pictures of the Yorkins on the wall; Sy follows Will to the hotel where he is meeting Maya. He barges into their hotel room and holds them at knifepoint, forcing them to pose for nude photos, but does not physically harm them. The police eventually catch Sy. The whole film was Sy telling the police what led up to the hotel room incident. Sy indirectly reveals that he had been abused as a child and had been forced to pose sexual poses, similar to what he did to Will and Maya.

Personal comments about this movie?
A great movie! Robin Williams gives an intense and oscar-worthy performance as a lonely photo shop guy who is obsessed with a family that has been sending their pictures to his department store for 11 years. When he finds out the seemingly “perfect” family isn’t as perfect as he had thought, his obsession takes on a whole new level. One of the things I liked about this movie was the cinematography. Through Sy’s eyes, the pictures of the family always seem happy, clean, and perfect. Picture perfect. Nothing bad could possibly ever happen to them, so he always liked picturing himself being part of the family. Robin Williams was just plain brilliant in this role. As his character became more and more unstable, he performed better and better. Connie Nielsen and Michael Vartan were great as the supporting cast.
