Somethings I dont understand SPOILERS


So Shane and Core participated in an experiment in Gaia which turned them into sex crazed cannibals. And Leo probably blames Shane for what happened to his wife so that would explain why he dosent want to be found. But why would Shane kill Core and than burn Leos work? Dosent he want to be cured? Or does he think he can cure himself? And does his wife know that hes sick? And also who was that woman his wife went to see? Was it supposed to be Shanes ex gf? But when she showed her a picture of him, he didnt look like Shane, at least not to me. Im just confused! But I did like most of the movie.

shane´s wife doesn´t know, therefore she´s confused that he refuses intimicy with her.
as far as i remember, the woman was shane´s formerly hirer; june visits her to find out what´s the matter with shane, cause she´s so confused. it´s their honeymoon and he goes so much out leaving her alone; and no sex... .
shane seeks so desperately for leo cause he hopes that he might have found a cure in the time since then; he loves his wife and can´t have sex with her - would kill her.
he killed core cause she turned to a kind of monster; as far as i remember, she attacks him, but i´m not sure about that.
the end is open; no hope for cure, no sex with his beloved wife ... . one day he´ll kill her and himself, or only himself before he can kill her. or only her and escape and have a terrible life for some years until he kills himself.

for me, personally, is like a german poem by goethe about a sorcerer's apprentice which did a conjure while the master was out of house and then couldn´t stop it. or of pandora´s box.
and he brought himself and all the others in that situation cause the great money (that didn´t come then) allured. it´s a symbol (not the right word, but i can´t find a better one), too, for danger + money-mindedness + and betise + criminality in/around that whole pharmaceutical complex.

it´s a sad film for me, with some brutal, more really beautiful scenes. and a great vincent gallo.

I didn't think Leo was avoiding Shane. Leo doesn't want to be found because of what's become of his wife Core.

I imagine Shane kills Core because it was that or be killed. Core started the fire in the house I think, so I'm not sure that Shane wanted to destroy Leo's work but either couldn't stop it happening or let it happen.

I'm not sure who the woman was but the photo Shane's wife is shown was a younger Shane.
