Boring/10
Nothing happens in the beginning. If you wait a while you will think something is about to happen, but then it doesnt.
By the moment something actually starts to move the story, you are already so tired of this brilliant piece of art that all you can think about is how brave you were to hold for so long and you will be wondering about the many other much, much better movies you could have watched.
If take the worst things from Godard's Contempt and extend it for almost 90 minutes you will find something that resembles this film. Also some influences from Bergman's Persona. By the way, watch Persona instead, it's a better movie in all possible senses. Not that it's saying much; Chinese Roulette is terrible.
There are a few interesting shots but given everything else i risk to say that's just statistics. The overall tone of the presentation doesn't fit the tone of the screenplay at all. For example, in the beginning of the movie there is a close up of the wife's lover and he bites his lips in the most cartoonish way possible in a movie that seems to attempt realism. But it just seems so. The tone of this movie is a mess. Some times it feels a cartoonish piece and immediately after, in the very next shot in the same scene, for no reason at all, it shifts and tries to be realistic again.
