Who is Dana's father? The man who is also Ana's father? Is there a subtext of incest here? Admittedly, between my hearing and Binoche's slightly-accented English, I may have mis-heard, but didn't Ana refer several times to "your father" when talking to Dana about the recently deceased?
shareI didn't catch who the father was either but I wondered if it was her adopted brother.
shareAfter the attorney hands Ana photos of her daughter Dana, didn't Ana also call her father a MONSTER?
Ana also didn't seem to care very much about his Obituary for some reason. So incest could also help to explain why she's not very interested in what the newspaper has to say about him?
And why does she FLIRT that way with her brother?
And why does her brother go sleep with what appears to be several other alcoholics and homeless people, rather than stay in the same house with Ana?
And why doesn't he also warn his sister Ana that he would soon be making Ana's daughter a homeless person?
When someone wrecks that car that he brings with him from France, could they have done that on purpose? Because they also know what he's about to do (which is tear down the homes and schools of these other people he evicts from the land that they were living on)?
So maybe others deliberately destroy the car that he cares so much about ... as revenge ... for what he's about to do ... by destroying the homes that others care so much about?
And if Dana IS a result of Ana sleeping with her adopted brother, that also means he tears down the home of his very own daughter?
