I loved this movie

I don't know what a spoiler is, but checked that box just in case.

I loved this movie, even though I found it to be odd and its meaning ambiguous. Just to be able to look at Hart Bochner and Mary Stuart Masterson as the two leads was a treat.

The best way I can describe this movie is that it is artsy. The story must have something to do with the opera scene at the beginning, otherwise, why have that scene at all? It doesn't seem to serve any other purpose.

Hart Bochner is perfect as the alienated, confused-as-to-his-identity, loner with whom Mary Stuart Masterson's character is obsessed. She longs for the "bad boy" and there is a scene at her wedding to another man that shows the bad boy is probably, in his own way, obsessed with her.

I did not understand the ending. It was not explained by its context, and the whole film seems sketchy. Something about that appealed to me though.

I would highly recommend this movie. It is romantic, tense, scary (it scared me at least),and interesting.
