Dan Kristensen returns home after a business trip to discover that his wife had gone missing. He searches the apartment to find her with the help of a detective. In doing so, he begins to uncover the secrets of his apartment and the people living within it.
This film was directed and written by Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani. Okay, this film applies to audiences interested in the Giallo film style; an Italian style of filmmaking that falls into the crime fiction/mystery genre with elements of horror and eroticism sewn in. Essentially this film relies more on its images to tell a story, or stories, rather than its narrative or script (like Under the Skin or Mulholland Drive-for an American reference). That being said, the narrative is terrible for this film. The stories go every which way and don't ever meet for a comprehensive ending. Although, I do get the feeling that these images could be hte hallucinations of a drunken and desperate man (its a theory). That being said, the film style was very imaginative to watch on screen. The images combined to create some gruesome, erotic, and mysterious imagery. This film does some experimentation with its style to offer a unique experience from one sequence to another. So, yes, I would definitely keep this film away from children. Klaus Trange played the role of Dan Kristensen. He was good at keeping audiences emotionally entangled within the varying moments of the film.
I give this film 2 out of 5 stars! I am not of a fan of this film style, or storytelling. However, I think there are still some people who would find it enjoyable.
This film can be seen on Netflix Instant Que.
