A good movie, likely for men, but made for women.

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2002)

I love this picture, but I only watched it one and I haven't yet understand the reasons for several actions, or the reasons for several mute moments. Maybe is because I'm a man and this movie is obviously made for women, but anyhow there is something that goes beyond the words in this film (maybe that's why Ada never talks.)
But atmosphere is the most important film, because is made in some old fashion that rarely appears in movies nowadays. Performances which focus on the expression. You can forget about the storyline because is what you are watching that should make you understand what's happening. The erotic scenes between Ada and her husband are 90% visual, his face reveals the desire and hers some sort of...I don't know. Women thing.
Flora is great, and she is for some reason my favorite character because she is very believable as a child going through adult things. Watch it if you haven't and if you don't like it, I understand because is not a normal movie, and you have to be one of those persons who like thinking rather that watching only.
