Amer

Belgium

Amer = bitterness. This film is a hyper-stylized look at a woman's fraught history/sexual imagination. Non-stop use of extreme close-ups, odd angles, bizarre colors. No dialogue throughout...therefore no engagement. We're invited to spend an hour and a half inside the brain of a deeply troubled woman and feel the fear and loathing she feels for all things sensual.

No thanks. While I admired the technical skill shown here the idea seemed to be...if some is good, more is better and the most is best. No it isn't.
