dressed up TV soap opera

Rating: 6/10 (12 October 2019)

It's a while since I last saw this and it doesn't seem to have worn too well or maybe its me that hasn't worn so well. A real effort to stay with this, even if it does look good, because all the time we were twisting and turning or noting uninteresting 'clues', I knew that ultimately this goes nowhere. Is it just a pretentious cinematic exercise for the maker or is there really something here for the viewer? Hard to say but I don't think I'll be taking this trip again. I'm perfectly happy to have a puzzle to solve or a mystery to ponder but I'm beginning to think that some of this director's work is mere self indulgence. Obviously while there are happy travellers he can continue but I think this may just be dressed up TV soap opera.
