Featured review
Get set for the emotional rollercoaster
This is a fabulous film.
The plot is a good yarn, and is imaginatively told in a series of flashbacks and alternative points of view. What was deliberate, and what was coincidence? Who is in love with who?
You get the chance to put yourselves in the shoes of each of the characters in turn (sometimes literally), and this helps define each character to a satisfying depth.
With a bit of effort following the twists and turns, you can understand each of the characters; and key events in the film are reshot from the point of view of different people.
Take the opportunity if it comes again to your arthouse cinema; it looks good on the big screen.
More than keeping you guessing, the plot twists to such an extent that you just sit and watch what unfolds - I defy anyone to predict!
But more likely you will need more than one viewing - I saw this at the pictures on its original release three times, and it got better each time.
The acting was very good, with a standout performance by Romane Bohringer as Alice torn in three directions by the three other characters in the ensemble.
A classic. The second-best film of the 1990s.
