I don't bother writing reviews very often anymore and I doubt I would've written one for this film either had I not stumbled across a terrible review. Clearly the other reviewer hated this film and everyone is entitled to their own opinion but their brutal dismissal was one I just couldn't abide with.
Is this a fast-paced thrill a minute adventure? No.
Is it a side-splitting comedy? No.
Does it make any brilliant societal observation? No.
Does it have to accomplish any of those things to be a good, successful, entertaining film? No.
The film is beautiful. Its colors, locale, music and meandering pacing give it a mellow dreamlike quality - like, perhaps... a vacation at a resort.
The primary conflict is one that one annoy the crap out of any of us.
The events that evolve (or devolve, if you will) or two protagonists from their innocuous introduction to the destructive consequences of their encouter are perfectly ambiguous but there are also more than enough clues to explain them.
A beautiful and compelling movie. Hardly a must-see or an entry on anybody's top 100 but not bad at all.
