In this excellent movie we are told an apparently very simple story where life meets death, success crosses with failure, conjugal life redounds in adultery and love triumphs over it all though in a somewhat strange way. A man's best... Full review
Blame it on me, but the only reason I wanted to see this film for was that Nastassja Kinski plays in it. So for this alone it justifies being fixed at the screen for 90 minutes...but for the rest? I... Full review

The story more or less relies for its arc on one crucial coincidence, but as Geraldine Pascall Award-winning film critic Sandra Hall once said, every good film is allowed one coincidence. ...

Some films defy categorization.....One of the most interesting things about the movie is its unjudgmental stance toward the characters and their behavior.....Because of his theater background and improvisational style, he coaxes great performances from the cast.....Regardless of his scripting problems, Figgis shines as an actors' director..... ...
