this film be so disappointing . from the blurb that make me decide to see phantom love ( why be it call this . ) i have expect something arty and thoughtful with beautiful imagery . it do have some interesting image but these often seem random and make no sense . in fact they seem like they be insert to fill in time . in the end the effect be listless . i believe the film be mean to be atmospheric and but it just wasn not . the lack of a coherent plot do not help matter . you might say it be mysterious and but i think it be just incoherent with no atmosphere . the main character seem to be disturb but the plot do not draw me in enough to care about her situation . without look at the cast list i would not have know that you see the main character a a child . the film have very little context for the time and place or character . i be not a prude but the sex scene ( there be several ) seem pointless and confuse me far and i recognise lulu but i be not sure if it be the same man and different men and a lover and her husband or be she a prostitute . it be only when i saw the credit that i discover the hairy back be mean to belong to her lover . this film do manage to make what should have be shock ( dream sequence involve lulu mother ) seem a bit boring . the nail filing actually make more sense and a it do give some indication of lulu emotional state . i will not fault the actor a i do not they have a lot to work on . i do not know if the lack of context or flow in the film be because of ineptitude or because it be pretentious but the end result be dull . i can not be bother talk about it anymore .
