Synopsis: We follow a cheating wife and her huband progressively sinking into madness.
Review: I was bored during the whole movie, waiting for something to happen, but nothing ever does. The reactions of the husband could start to be interesting, but have no repercussion on the story, so I didn't see the point. One interesting thing at the beginning is how this couple talks frankly to each other, but this also is not followed by anything. Maybe there is some sense in this movie that it too deep for my little brain...
I wanted to see it because I read some good about it in the Mad Movies magazine where it was compared to a David Cronenberg movie (The Fly, Naked Lunch, Cosmoposlis), but it is only vaguely true in the rare bloody scenes. Note that the movie received the Jury award at the Gerardmer Fantastic Film Festival (ex-aequo with The Awakening), while the Audience award was attributed to Eva.
Rating: 0 /10
