Again i saw this film in the early 90's on the UK television, and the stark and surprising storyline keep coming back to mind.
The emotional involvement of the film is total, no other film has ever had that impact. I've watched all of Rozema's films and none have this level of emotional crudity and success.
It's difficult to compare this film with any other; however the film 'high Art' comes close to the level of detached intensity this film induces.
A fantastic cast, Nelligan is beautiful and the directing is suitably claustrophobic.
In short, this film is an alternative existential masterpiece; recommended viewing for angst ridden generation x'ergs.
