Overview
An American couple, Paul and Marianne, spend their vacation in Italy and experiences trouble when the wife invites a former lover and his teenage daughter to visit, which leads to jealousy and dangerous sexual scenarios.
It all starts off well enough and the first half of the film is actually pretty good. Each one of the four main characters has some kind of conflict with the other three and it seems like a setup for a good second half of the film. And then… disappointment. Worse, towards the end of the film the story is flipped and then it becomes a crime drama. A very unsatisfying resolution to the conflict. Fiennes and Swinton are excellent but you already knew that.
