Perfidia (2009)
1/10
Torturous and Drawn Out
14 June 2013
This movie is so introspective that it fails to convey its message in any of the torturous and drawn out sequences, or in the badly placed flashbacks. By the time that the director gets you to the hotel, you'll be craving any break in the monotony. However, the plodding pace continues with only hints as to were the plot might eventually take you. Don't expect the cinematography to give you something to occupy your time with. The shots are average at best with many amateur mistakes in exposure and framing. If you make it to the middle of the film, you'll be wondering why do is it necessary to watch nearly 5 minutes of nail care? There are surely others ways that the director could have moved along the meager story line that would have actually built some drama and interest. By the time that the climax comes in the film, we are too exhausted to care. The rest of the film goes down hill from there leaving you out in the cold with an ending that fails to reward the wearying journey that the director has taken you on.
