Quotes:

Viscount Laris: Everyday there are a handful of images that stay with us. We see them by accident or design, create them consciously, or unconsciously, some stay with us for a day or two... most are forgot in minutes, seconds.... and of those images, maybe there's one that sticks out beyond all the others... the most powerful image of your life.

Create The Gesture

A strangely original film.

This one was a strangely original film.

A fascinating premise and ideas, treated with an arch dark humor. Featuring strong stylized performances, densely articulate language, and intoxicating visuals. (Almost overwhelming at times, but that seemed to be the intention).

Not quite like anything I've seen recently, and definitely recommended for fans of adventurous indie/art-house cinema. (Also those looking for a different update of film noir, with a bizarre comedic edge thrown into the mix.)

It stayed with me.
