Beautiful, authentic, a work of art

This film contrasts strongly with most films on release. It's made by an intelligent artist expressing emotions, not a company looking to make money.

The pace is calm, almost meditative in parts. There are awkward silences that give you time and space to work out what they are (or might be) thinking, with no irritating background music influencing you. Visually, it's serenely beautiful, and many, many scenes are pure works of art. Look out for the still life round the pool with indoor argument soundtrack - it's wonderfully, quirkily funny, Hitchcock would have adored it.

After it finished I felt as if I'd read a really engrossing novel, that my imagination had been properly engaged. Strongly recommended.
