This is perhaps a somewhat belated comment on this movie but I saw it in Edinburgh during the film festival in June of 2008 and thought this was a very interesting attempt at showing a complex political and human drama. I primarily went to see it because of Christopher Doyle, who is the director of this movie but is better known for his cinematography. The story line may seem complicated, and the whole thing takes place in a country of which North Americans don't know much, but it almost doesn't matter because this is an impressionistic view of a politically motivated murder (which could have happened anywhere) the consequences of which impact other people and their life choices. The film is a story about a few of those people, including a beautiful woman, for all intents and purposes an "innocent" bystander. On the day that I saw the film, the movie theater was packed full, and I didn't notice anybody leave. After the showing the audience did get to see Christopher Doyle and this really gorgeous Polish actress live on the stage. Both took questions from the audience and the ensuing discussion was quite animated! I would recommend the movie to those who look for something more artistic and unusual in a film than your average "pulp fiction".
