This film loses itself in its' own artistic complexity. While I was awed by the lavish photography and impressed with the strong acting performances, I found the plot hard to follow and full of holes. It seemed to me that the film makers wanted to "blow our mind," when, in fact, all they succeeded in doing was confusing and bewildering us. I was left with more questions than answers at the end, which would be fine if it were an art film, but a psychological thriller shouldn't drag you through two hours of "what the hell" just to leave you there. I hope I see more from this director, but possibly with a better team of writers.
