A Dry Exercise

Rating: 7/10 (22 June 2002)

I did not enjoy this film. The idea is smart - an apparent crime story told in a reversive manner. The telling of this story of a guy who forgot his immediate memory, but kept his identity, and seems to be looking for the killer of his wife, the one who triggered 'the incident' - is technically brilliant, but lacks any feeling, and does not produce any emotion in the viewer. At no point in time could I identify with the character, and even if the pieces of the puzzle fit perfectly by the end, the whole story remains a dry, un-emotional technical exercise.
