This movie is a piece of art that i keep coming back to. I must admit that i admire Stellings work, his unique decaded, mortally overwhelming story- telling. There is something so haunting and eyrie about this love story. The emptiness and grayness of the sheltered box in which Stelling places his characters amplifies their emotions and ties, creating a turmoil of beautiful, almost still-like pictures of an unfortunate lovers. Stellings minimalism in story telling and carfully detailed frames gives unique realism to somewhat overused plot. Hoeks delivers a great performance of believable innocence, tortured by "Stellings time" ,that is painstakingly crushing her.
