I had the chance to watch this film at DIFF, and it turned out to be a bad chance. Be it a Black and white film doesn't make it look great or add any value when the script is so vague and boring. The philosophy behind it isn't interesting at all. The director, who turned out to have a hobby in photography and knows the place where the shot it very well, included in his first feature film a whole lot of childhood memories without even having a clear narrative story, a well built character or a good premise. It's crystal clear that he wanted to communicate all his feelings, which I totally understand, but it turned out to be a complete beautifully done disaster. I personally don't invite anyone to watch it, but maybe 20 minutes will be enough to watch some stunning B&W photography, and beautiful cast.

I've had the chance to see this movie yesterday in Paris before I leave. From the trailer, I thought it's worth seeing as it looks like a good thriller/horror film. But I was so disappointed. The story line is somehow predictable. It lacks originality and you can easily compare it to a masterpiece of cinema (i'm not gonna mention the name, but i'm pretty sure you'll guess it). As for the cast, I think they were over-acting here and there, maybe due to the weak script and the empty moments where they look like not knowing what to fill the scene with. But hey, not everything is bad, you'll enjoy some good cinematography in some scenes, specially in the beginning. Unfortunately, i think it's a missed opportunity and as we say in french: Dommage, c'est raté!
