Hal Hartley fans should give this a look
The best possible recommendation to anyone who hasn't seen this polarising film is that it won't faze anyone who enjoys the work of Hal Hartley, especially Surviving Desire, The Unbelievable Truth and some of his early shorts. The reason it has attracted so much critical ire here is that it appears to have fallen into the public domain and the hands of legions of cheapy DVD labels that packaged it with ad copy meant to hoodwink unsuspecting viewers into thinking it's a thriller. Surprise: it's an art movie! Whether it's a good one or not I leave to others to argue, but I found it very entertaining and I wish it was available in a decent print. Perhaps Criterion should consider it for release. I'd love to see what kind of blu-ray Extra Features they could assemble, and I'm betting there's a warehouse full of copies of the source novel they could buy up and package with it...
