Atmosphere, atmosphere, atmosphere.

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2003)

This film is entirely about atmosphere, if you couldn't tell from the title of this comment. The scenes are generally dimly lit, there's a lot of soft colors - the whole thing seems hazy and dream-like. The soundtrack was even done by Kevin Shields of the legendary shoegazer band My Bloody Valentine. If you're in the mood for intense emotions or complicate plots, this probably isn't the film for you. If you're in the mood for pleasing aesthetics, though, this definitely would fit the bill. It's not a work of genius, but it sustains a certain beguiling feel throughout. The film equivalent of a good Chopin nocturne.
