It's a waste of time talking about the structure of this movie or what it means. Yet it captivated me from beginning to end... and I'm often impatient these days with most things I see. The look of this film is excellent. It was shot in the actual apartment of a very famous pop art/painter (1969), and it is a convincing and compelling 'set' in contrast to, oh, let's say Godard's tableaux, which often seem so contrived. It could have been shot yesterday, but for a few outdated appliances. Even better is the uncredited soundtrack that plays practically non-stop in the background throughout most of the film. It really adds to the scenes and augments the action, but not too obviously. The motive of the movie is very much of its time, though... again, it is saved by following entirely poetic impulses. This is a disturbing movie that seasoned viewers who appreciate Lynch, Bunuel or Imamura would welcome. You have to drop your expectations of logic and let the impressive talent of the lead (Piccoli) guide you through the weirdness... it's not as deliberately maddening as some self-indulgent art movies, but it definitely takes you out of the ordinary.Read full review
