This is one of the most unique films that I have ever seen and I think it is one that demands multiple viewings. If you look up “subtle” in the dictionary you’d probably find this movie in the definition. I had to read through several reviews to even get a glimpse of what I missed. The subtle interactions between the two leads is incredible. So much of their time together happens in the shadows – it really adds to the feel of a forbidden love. One thing that I missed is the director’s use of color in the middle and then at the end. It really is a joy if you want to do a little work for it.
