Superb style but no story

The movie starts with a detective searching for a man that disappeared half a year ago. The start makes you wonder though why it have taken half a year before hiring a detective.

Unfortunately this and many other mysteries are never revealed. There is no character development in the movie. I found no point in most people being in the movie (which may be the point of the movie?).

I have enjoyed the previous collaborations between writer and director here. But this one I regretted spending my time on. I would recommend only to people interested in cinematography and does not care about the story, or likes to make their own story in the movie.
