Purely excellent
Saw this movie in NYFF. It might not have been the best movie in the festival but so far, it is the only movie I have felt a deep connection and involvement. I connected great with the story and the characters and I felt the knife in my heart by the time the credits rolled. I've never seen any of the directors previous work but he did mention during the Q and A that it was very different from his other work which are apparently very violent. This is not a violent movie in the traditional sense of blood and gore but the emotional violence I felt inflicted on me is more real than a sea of blood. This movie is an excellent blend of a detective movie and a romance story. How this man managed to do merge these genres so well and make it so that practically everything that happens in the story is relevant to the plot and the characters is beyond me. Clearly this man has a blessed hand because even with the heartbreak i will still buy this movie when it comes out and rewatch it many times in the future.
