Turn the DVD to play, then go to bed. Be sure to open the windows in the morning to air out the bad vibes. Very bad take on Herman Melville's story: The Ambiguities, or Pierre. Modernized in this film version, it loses it's gullibility and believability. Pierre should be savey enough to figure this one out, but you see, he's not 'wrapped real tight'. The implied ambiguities, that don't exist within the actual relationships in the book only complicated the movie's ambiguities more. The movie unfolds at a snails pace, so go to bed — it may actually still be playing by the time you wake up. The ultimate question that exists is: Is Isabelle, or isn't she? Pierre is pathetically living in his mind and dreams, chasing after ghosts and signs of truth. The obvious never occurs to him — even preventable death. That nagging question keeps coming back: Is Isabelle, or isn't she?
