The concept of an artist getting romantically involved with her muse, only for it to end badly, but they can't stop thinking about each other, could've been done well. However, in this film, it's unclear what's real and what's a dream and it's unclear whether the two were actually involved with each other.
The editing wasn't great, it didn't allow for scenes to breathe. Just showed what it wanted to show, moved on, making it difficult to process what was actually happening. The acting was sub-par, especially from Emanuela Lucaci. Her line delivery was poor, and she only had one line of dialogue, which sounded like it was ADR, and didn't quite fit. The portrayal of someone losing their mind over the situation was pretty poor too, and not remotely accurate. And then there's the sound. The sound's mixed poorly, sounds like brush strokes and the one line of dialogue is too loud, but none of the sound is important to the story. The music choice was weird too. In the most part, the score was great, until it got to the sequence of the painter doing some kind of dance, and it started playing some dubstep-influenced club track, or something, that didn't fit with the rest of the film. Nor did that scene. I get what they were going for, that she's losing her mind, too hung up on this guy, but, was executed poorly.
Cinematography was passable. Could've been much better.
On the whole, didn't enjoy it, not enough redeeming qualities to overshadow it's faults.
