italian bear eleonora have inherit from her decease lover karl and an ultra modern and isolated house in the middle of the wood . it winter and she meet the mysterious caretaker leslie and who eventually end up not only just look after the house and but also that of eleonora and a she try to adapt to her new surroundings and a grow attraction between the pair . what be i expecting . a thriller indeed and but it wasn not quite so . that just the advertising on the package for ya . i be quite perplex about everything . the title and the story and the motivation . so how to classify it . well and this wooden character drama be more a enigmatically moody romance bound story of alienation and possession and dependence twist into a complicatedly passionate relationship of two masked individual . co writer ( along with william dafoe ) and director giada colagrande art house film be just too clinical and distant and calculate with it mysteriously metaphoric story and which it leave you question what do it all really mean although when it sudden conclusion materialises and you will think why should i actually care . what we go through feel aimless with ponderous exposition of dead air that focus of insignificant detail and image . sterile dialogue can contribute to many awkward development and but more so make for an leaden experience and a it never delve deep enough . like it believe it do . the sexually salty activity filter in just never convince and be far from erotic . they be kind of a bump in the already sluggish flow . the base of the plot make for something interesting and fresh and but it never fulfil and i thought there will be more to it then all of this dreary lingering . colagrande direction be professionally stylish and suitably gloomy to want she imago and but everything feel like it in slow motion and can get catch up admire the same view . most of the action stay at the one location the house . camera work be potently taut and but the sullen musical score can get a bit ridiculous when it go for some dramatically stabbing music cue that serve little sense and purpose to the scene . giada colagrande play it sensually and william dafoe sleep walk the part . he look dog tire . while seymour cassel and poke his head in now and then . just where be it head and be anyone guess . well and that if you can wait around for it . i think i will give it the benefit of the doubt and a it definitely not what i be expect from this indie film .
