A cold mother who made her son as a physical muse for her artwork is the theme of this movie. The use of the blue filter on most of the scenes made for a cold sad atmosphere throughout the movie. You never see any of the characters exhibit joy. The mother's obsession towards her son as a piece of artwork by having him build his physique as that of the statue of David verges into the sensual. But that wasn't pushed enough by the creators. The movie about the "Perfect David" should be retitled, "The Perfect Upper Body of David", for you don't see much of the lower body of the main character. And in this the movie had failed. The sensuality could had been explored more.
