This movie fascinated me to the degree that I watched it twice and recommended it to several friends. While I agree with some of the comments of the person who didn't care for the movie, overall I enjoyed it, mostly because of good acting, its music and the "what's going to happen next" atmosphere set by the film . Granted, the twists and turns of the unusual and unlikely plot took some figuring out. It was almost like a David Lynch film, only not so bleak.
I especially enjoyed the sound track.
