Let's start positive. The costumes and set are solid. The feeling of emptiness due to the empty streets is portrayed well and gives the film a feeling of magical realism. The main character can be quite peculiar. The final scene is great symbolism.
That's about all i can muster for the positive side, because frankly all the rest is a one-note, unneededly long and dull mess. The main character meets a woman that looks exactly like his dead wife. He stalks her a little bit and they end up going on a date (because that's how it's done folks!). Then they walk.. and talk.. and talk.. and also walk. The main fellow is cold and abrupt. The woman he's with is there for no real reason. The movie felt like it simply had no reason to exist, nothing actually happens.
Normally i only place a review on films that have no review yet, but here i couldn't let those - in my eyes - actually insane 9/10 reviews go by unchecked. Consider this a much needed ying to their yang.

Let me start off by saying this movie was perfectly watchable. The actors and actresses do a solid job in this film. I haven't seen the series that this movie is from and i don't plan to.
Long story short, a group of workers are stuck in an office space on the fourth floor. No elevator down, no ladder. They now hold out until they find a way out or are rescued. There are some funny scenes, some shots which are actually quite nice and the typical foolishness you find in any film like this.
The film hurt itself however, by lacking in believability. Any film stretches realism one way or another, but i can't believe more people would hear there pleas for help as they shout from the window. This sometimes ruined the entire thing for me, which is unfortunate.
All in all it's decent, don't get me wrong. Just, alas, very by the books.

Two friends stumble upon eachother after losing sight of one another many years ago. One is now a writer, the other a painter. They get to talking and decide they will travel from Belgium to Paris, France together. They do this so they can think there, freely and without being weighed down by the regularity of daily life. Alot of interesting and at times bizarre moments happen throughout their journey, once i'd recommend seeing.
The movie has fragments where characters were talking, behind the scenes as it were, to the person filming them as if they're in a sort of documentary. This felt weird to me and mostly didn't add anything of worth to the film, except for some well-placed dialogue that wouldn't be possible without this filming method.
There are also other small parts that i didn't enjoy as much, an important one being the ending. I felt that it was rushed and uninteresting, almost a non-ending. This movie would have been better with around 20 minutes more footage, i'm sure of that.
All in all, unique dialogue and some fun and interesting moments in this quite unknown film. Heck, i found it by accident because it was an extra film placed on another dvd from a movie called "Sailors Don't Cry" by the same director. Funnily enough, i enjoyed this movie more than the one i've just mentioned. Weird how that works.
