Stunning film but it is very much an arthouse movie, however there is a near 20 minute two hander heavy dialogue scene free from cuts that is phenomenal. The two actors in question even shared a flat for a week to rehearse it to perfection.

The first half hour is almost abstract in execution and you question what the hell you are watching but the film's last half is masterful. I bought the film just a few days after watching it. The ending is sublime.
