well- a very haunting piece of work

Rating: 7/10 (9 November 2006)

well,I did like the film, especially the role of Michael Caine(I just like the guy)-good acting almost throughout actually,good camera-work too and great sites really. It is a very interesting piece of film,really,challenging- there's just one thing missing :The correlation of the whole story.If you've read the book may be then you might have the overview and see the connections. But if you didn't -you're pretty much thrown into the scenery not really getting the idea of a bigger interrelation .But may be you just go home and imagine it by yourself-somehow one just has to,it's such an arousing round dance of little sceneries that demand it, they're much to lovable to just let them stand alone,unlinked. The only thing one really knows for sure is that it is about that girl that has to be brought away(why?) and later it's her baby. But why all the rest is taking place is just not cutted out properly enough and there's a whole lot more going on here.- After all the film is much to haunting not to be enthralled by it.But still it remains -I am upset they didn't work the overall correlation a little more out- that's the only aggravation.
