With music you transcend your life. In classical music & hardcore. Do you choose the energetic music with edges or the music that we think is a bit more well-behaved. In this movie they seem to reinforce each other. Can you handle the temptations that the life with edges has got and can you maintain yourself on the edges of the volcano or are you slowly slipping away? Do you choose a hardcore life because of resistance to normal life and when you enter it, are you pushed away from normal life? Do people actually choose for living with the protagonist or do they end up with him because they can no longer live elsewhere? These are dilemmas that the film presents to you.

This movie is better than most commentators say. Who has what power is important.

French Marines turn up at a nightclub in Tahiti. Rumors arose about new nuclear tests. The newly posted French Commissioner on the island seemingly carelessly searches for information. Does he know more? Sometimes he is very focused in the conversations and feels for information. From a cockfight, a battle arises that in reality is played more like a shadow play and everyone slowly slides past each other.

The film has a hypnotic atmosphere and melancholy. The landscape, the waves and the skies also draw you into the story. There is beauty in taking the time for the film and the puzzle piece to slowly unravel - as if everything falls apart almost naturally through time - without any effort.

Here is a psychological quality movie with razor sharp and often funny quotes, although there is not a huge amount of conversations in it. The storyline starts with daughter 'Hemel' who devours men. How do you detach from your parents. It is a movie that slowly crawls under your skin and makes you feel. And feel the pain. The movie contains strong intense screen shots and subtle supporting sounds/music combined with a layered story that is blended in a way of rare beauty. What starts as an apparent superficial movie (a dutch and very explicit, but not too shocking start), slowly unravels in questions of how do you detach from your parents, which tecniques do you use to be loved, do you hurt or get hurt, life and death, do you get enough attention and do you "miss the bus". The sex is more or less something that you have to look through to see what the movie really is about. Telling the story would spoil a lot of it, so my advice would be go and feel that movie.
