An enjoyable, well shot (and very well acted by Marie Binnevie in a double role) mind game of a film.
It doesn't add up to much emotionally, but it stays pretty fascinating most of the time, as young photographer Alex is repeatedly drawn into an affair with the same woman, only to find reality changing, and that she suddenly doesn't know him. The same with other people in his life. And then suddenly they DO know him again, but seem to see him with new eyes.
There's a strong suggestion that what we're seeing is a story being reworked (reconstructed) by a writer, a fantasy that the woman's older husband has in his head.
A lot of critics were harsh on this (though a few loved it) for being film-schoolish and deliberately obtuse. I can't argue. But I still can't say I didn't enjoy it's mysteries.
