Rating: 4.0
A Unique Story
This film, divided into 5 separate stories about a murder, begins with the discovery of a mangled woman in a field. The lonely woman who finds the body is abruptly liberated from her drab existence. The forensic examiner too is liberated from her own demons after her examination of the body. The toughest story to take, for this reviewer, is the tale of the murderer's wife who cannot bring herself to report the crimes she knows her husband committed despite her unpleasant life with him - she will enable him to continue his miserable activities - a baffling & disturbing enigma. The mother of the victim fearlessly seeks the truth about her troubled, lost daughter's life including the shocking discovery of why the girl left home in the first place. Above all the best segment is the last... the actual experiences of the victim during her last days alive.A well acted, dark & mysterious movie... a bit depressing yet there are small rays of hope. The story's ending is not quite "wrapped up"... nothing's finalized, but rather what happens next is left for the viewer to imagine.Not good to view if you're looking for something uplifting - it shows too much of the seamy side of life. A good movie if you want a unique murder mystery.
