2/4
Penning, who also co-wrote the script based on a real-life scandal from the Netherlands, tangles up his timeline so thoroughly that any suspense is strangled out of the story. Go to Full Review

01/06/2018 Based on most of the negative reviews, it appears that they didn't understand the story. One negative reviewer says plainly so, asking Why this and Why that. I believe the answer is obvious in two key points in the film. I won't be giving it away. If you see my rather unimportant review and want to know the answer, message me at my gmail ... stegokitty. With that out of the way, I thought the very low-key story was mesmerizing. Definitely confusing at first because all of the memories are jumbled. And in fact you can't (at first) tell what's in the past and what's in the present. But these things come together in the end rather nicely. I'd definitely see another film by this director and writer(s). Just a note -- the scenes of nudity, both partial and frontal, are entirely unnecessary, and do nothing to move the story forward. This could, in fact, have turned out to be a classic movie if it weren't for that. So while it's not a film that I particularly want to watch again anytime soon (though in a few years it'd be neat to do as I'd've forgotten much of the plot) I found it intriguing, See more 07/30/2017 Atlantic coast, you duffers. See more 10/15/2015 Extremely petty and absurd in the arrogant casts of "artistic" minds. Even "love" is debased by their "arts". See more 12/24/2011 Stylish, but murky, psychodrama about a failed suicide pact See more 10/15/2011 A subtle film that explores the limits of jealousy. In flashback, a successful artist recounts two recent loves, the first his wife, the second a mistress. The film takes a while to get moving on the plot, but is artful in the mean time with some amazing transition shots. Our artist finds himself holding information that could save his wife's life, but she has also recently told him that she had an affair, and used the following words in her less than humble confession: every, position, many, times. What would you do?
