From: movie reviews Category: Films Date: 13 April 2007 Time: 01:15 PM Review: The schizophrenic couple, mother-son, man-carer,- -? were put off by the subtitles, but apparently they just go the cinema to perve and talk on their phone. I wasn't keen on the subject matter: a usurer's love for a young woman. Usurer just doesn't attract me to see a film. But what the hell, I went in anyway. It's one of these weird surreal over-the-top, deadpan films that are made these days. You think isn't this great, so off the wall, and not Hollywood. And then you think all the grotesquerie is just a sort of coolness, and the director/writer just does weird stuff to his/her characters. A kind of cinematic sadism, but more carefree. The movie is watchable, but something missing for the reason above.
