9/10
it is not that bad after all...
22 December 2003
Well, there are many things that have gone terribly wrong in this film from plot to sound, from acting to ending, from camera works to cuts and editing; bad/unpolished screenplay, bad post-production; poor directing... perhaps even an immitation of "Don't Look Now!".. etc etc etc.... BUT... I don't know, I still get the feeling that there is something to this movie. Somehow it keeps you engaged and a nervous through repetitious contrasts. There is a certain surreal feeling/atmosphere to it, especially with some (perhaps intended) "clumsiness" of actors costumes, movements, replies .. some rediculously amature camera moves, bad quality film used, and strangely horrible audio dubs. Then on the contrast to all of that you get occasional truely interesting and fascinating shots and scenes (which are then badly edidted). Maybe the movie was working toward braking some barriers of conventionality and maybe it required a better director and a better screenplay for that.

What I really didn't like however is the ending, and the excessive, and times - daft, use of metaphors.
