L'ofrena

Definitely recommended for fans of Pedro Almodovar, Julio Medem, and Alejandro Iñárritu. A sensual, twisty story that follows a man trying to reconcile his past.

It occurs to me a great film makes you feel as if you lived through the events, while with a lesser film you feel you just watched them.

This film definitely made me feel like a watcher. Although the protagonists were unusual in their motivations and deeds, the overall effect felt less than convincing at a number of points.

It was enjoyable speculating what was actually going on through the first three-quarters of the film, but the contrived ending seemed particularly inauthentic.

Having said all that, the performances were excellent and the (frequent) sex scenes were honest and forthright.
