For me, Hal Hartley is easily the only American director whose work I have seen lately and Really liked. I had seen 3 movies before this one and I was kind of afraid that he might be caught in a rut, not be able to deliver something new, something that wouldn't remind me too much of his previous work. Maybe lacking enough new ideas. Well, he definitely succeeded with this one. Partly anyway.
Until about the last ten minutes the characters really got into me, the conflicts and situations these people found themselves in really touched me. But. In the end all that suddenly fell apart. And did that really abruptly. In such a way that I found myself thinking that WTF is going on here, there's no way that these characters could think of doing something like that or feel this way.
Fortunately I still remember emotions everything before that generated in me. Yet, the ending did put a sour stamp on it for me.
