Predictable and slow, but mercifully only 1 hr. 40 min.

Rating: 2/10 (13 August 2007)

I saw this as a DVD. "Mysterious"? "Sexy"? Well, maybe if you have lived in a box. Why this movie is rated "R" is beyond me.
I've seen plenty of art films and have enjoyed most. This one is predictable and slow, in my opinion, with very little mystery about it. Plenty of art for art's sake here; a 1 minute view of the shadow made by a teacup as the day progresses. Oops. Sorry for the spoiler.
A movie I did appreciate on a similar theme (tragic loss throwing unwitting strangers together) was Enduring Love. I realize they are two totally different approaches to the theme, but I thought the latter was more thought-provoking.
If you want to drive someone nuts, rave about this movie within earshot. You'll be sure they will waste an hour and a half and perhaps wonder how they can be so shallow.
Mercifully, it was kept to an hour and a half.
