(NB!Two lines of spoilers written in parentheses further down - easily ignored.)
I hate it when movies contain unnecessary scenes which simply consumes valuable sleeping time. Somehow, even a sex scene longer than 10 seconds should have some substance or meaning to the plot. While watching this particular flick last night, I thought it was doing exactly that; depriving me of my valuable sleep. I couldn't get a grasp of the whole thing. I only made sense of bits and pieces here and there and it certainly seemed like it was merely «trying» to be clever but was failing tremendously.
I thought that all the way up until the last half hour of the movie.
WARNING! SPOILER ALERT: (After watching the bed scene where she asks him «how was school» and then the car crash - I was convinced I knew what was going on. The key and the big spider at the end certainly confirmed my assumptions.)
So, I checked online to see if I was wrong on my understandings of the movie and it seems that I wasn't. This movie is definitely well made. It seems like a mess at first, but if you are patient enough, you will see that everything is connected and that both the atmosphere, the people involved, the shady illusions/dreams all makes sense in the end. A very dark movie with elements at times that seem bizarre and a bit disturbing. These elements all play a significant role to the plot so do not brush them off.
This is one of the few movies where whether a person personally likes it or not is completely irrelevant. The mind behind this production undoubtedly deserves an applause and one should definitely watch it because of that. I would never watch it again, but, man what a trip!
Watch it and see how brilliantly Denis constructs all the pieces in the puzzle into this one big real enigma. Afterwards, check out IMDb member «mrpaulkennedy's» spot on analysis on the film to fully comprehend its content:
