How do you review a film that you didn't understand, other than by saying you didn't understand it? I didn't understand A Play of Shadows.
My Aurum Encyclopedia of Horror describes the film as an arty ghost story halfway between Wim Wenders and Pupi Avati, but I watched it anyway. And it was every bit as boring, pretentious and utterly baffling as I expected. And long: two hours, which is like an eternity when the whole film is so confusing and slow.
The plot has something to do with a novelist with a big nose who rents an old house only to be affected by the property, which may or may not be haunted. I honestly don't know. Or care.
