If this film was supposed to be surrealistic, it failed. I think surrealism in movies can be used effectively in two ways: either to make sense and have a point to make (like in Bunuel's La fantome de liberte) or to make no sense at all and leave the result open to all kinds of interpretations (like in Bunuel's Un chien andalou). What we have here is a director desperately trying to impress us using surrealism over a really weak script. Moreover, the man's mistress' character seems rather misplaced or not fully portrayed, while the rest of the characters' motives are not always explained. Ok, that's what surrealism is about: it doesn't have to make sense. Yet I believe surrealism does not suit this kind of plot. I believe it would have been better if more time had been taken to analyze each character's personality more thoroughly.
The actors were quite convincing which cannot be equally said about the actresses in this movie. Overall watching this film left me very unsatisfied.
