first part OK next downhill
…the days are passing in a luxury seaside village and the story occurs mostly there with only couple of shots in the small town near. The movie promised and delivery until day 2 (every passing day is marked on the screen)or so then it goes downhill; plagued with clichés of the genre and confusing edit and shots. So the suspense gets down and all that mixed stuff start…this is not Hitchcock.-I really like Beat Kitano and always with his style not defraud here. Nishijima works his roll very good; but I see this actor in other movies and works his acting the same way… The story is based in a short one by an Spanish writer. The camera work is good and the color palette is OK but somehow too digital for my taste. Somehow is a good entertainment but nothing more. Is an OK movie hence the 5 stars
An incomprehensible mess or a misjudged masterpiece?
I think you can read this review and not have the movie spoiled too much, maybe even the opposite – but just in case I have marked it so. This review takes its cues from the short story the movie was adapted from.Briefly, the short recalls a conversation between the writer and an older man who is in an intriguing relationship with a much younger woman. The older gent explains why he is constantly taking videos of her and his complete adoration for her. And how their relationship must end.
This movie takes that conversation and weaves between it a mystery of love, obsession and desires.
We very soon learn our writer is suffering from writer’s block, but this will change soon enough. You should not believe everything you see and hear on screen – it does not play out as a conventional movie. Which scenes are real and which are imagined are not easily distinguishable – but some appear more obvious than others in hindsight.
And key scenes that don’t deliver an answer – most likely they are in his new novel.
This review is kinder than my rating, which reflects my first impression and before I’d read the short story or any reviews here. The short is not essential reading – but it gave me time to gather my thoughts.
Also checkout the external critics review of South China Morning Post – links to Edmund Lees review and has links to an interview with the director and the short story.
So an incomprehensible mess or a misjudged masterpiece? If you take the film too literally you will be left disappointed and as confused as I was. It’s not a complete mess, but maybe it was too difficult a project to execute satisfactorily and therefore, it is what it is. If you haven’t seen the movie, and for whatever the reason is that brought you here – I would say seek this movie out
