empty mirror
remember the jackalope
the subway scene reminds me of this video right down to the incongruous pastoral music
what to make of it?
negative energy as like, psychic/psychotic contagion? evil straining for symmetry.
the heinrich character was tops. would love to see udo kier reprising this role (though he's probably too old for the role)
and yeah, adjani was fantastic in this. only ever saw her in nosferatu, previously.
i would describe it to someone as godard's contempt mated with scenes from a marriage plus tentacles.
you can see how large a shadow it cast in the works of cronenberg and lynch (both mentioned earlier in this thread)
cinematography was staggering. there's this scene where sam neill's character was in a rocking chair, rocking wildly, with adjani in the background----the camera kept switching focus from neill to adjani perfectly as neill's face rocked in and out of the foreground----amazing stuff
i've stood at the sidelines of a few divorces and it does capture the sense of grand deteriorating and unravelling; in times of duress, one's notion of the real changes.
it is clear we are in their collective heads here----to the detriment of the viewer's sense of what is really happening...
riveting movie. i can't understand the lukewarm reviews i've read elsewhere. dissensians are on board, of course.
