Complicated

This is not a real review, it should be taken more as a collection of impressions on the film.

A fairly complicated and also too slow film that manages to be so messed up that it overturns its own mess and has a great aspect of absolute linearity. The film is made with a classic non-linear narrative as it is full of flashbacks which then coincide with the reality of the facts. In reality the film is strange because if you read the plot the film seems like one thing and then you watch it and it seems like a completely different thing, much more complex and slow than the plot might suggest. So in conclusion the film is messy but watchable and the acting performances are really very good.
