And as we should know, it all starts with a bad and uninteresting and utterly predictable script. Done a hundred times and usually done a hundred times better. Then comes directing - again, boring, overly wordy and repetitive and sometimes just weird. What's with the sometimes color and then suddenly black and white thing? Psychological hints of something? Just a whole lot of pretension. The two main persons supposedly had a lovingly (mon amour, mon amour, mon amour) relationship going on?
She is some kind of intellectual, a radio journalist who always says exactly what a 'radio journalist' is supposed to say - predictable and pretentious empty words again - and, out of prison since 9 years seems to have lived off this woman, no job or anything - and now starts working (we never find out what he's supposedly doing), well, he begins to work, what a coincidence with an ex of his wife or girlfriend - we don't know that either and from then on everything breaks down, confusion left and right.
Underscored is the whole thing in the first part mostly with schmaltzy music and in the second with some darkish drones that should alert the audience that. Not all is fine and dandy in the house.
Acting-wise, obviously the main actors are seasoned pros, they do what they do or were told to do - it's tiring to watch them.
I rather watch for the hundredth time 'Who's a fraud of Virginia Woolf'.
