7/10
Provoking landscapes
7 November 2005
National references and debates of explicitness aside, this film has some very interesting uses of photography. The director creates spaces with an unreal or detached feel to them (thanks in a large way to the way the sound is used), which perhaps allude to the unreal place the main character inhabits at that time in his mind.

Surprisingly, there are also a few touches of humour (two incidents in particular involving passengers in cars), which serve to break up some a monotony which could develop around what is a very bleak picture.

In conclusion, not spectacular, but a promising turn in the development of this director, in what is an interesting study on the extremes of desire.
