a subtle and complex experience . it run as smooth a silk yet create just enough tension to keep you on your seat . a in all great film and dialogue take a back seat to the unspoken interaction amongst the character who and without word and be able engage u and force u to see the universality of love and sex and betrayal and manipulation . it be undoubtedly rare to see a western film with all asian character in major role without be stereotypical or push an obvious socio cultural theme . uncommonly ( and and personally and to my relief ) race seem almost coincidental and and most importantly and apolitical . yet and inevitably and because of this rarity and we can not but be intrigue a we watch these people behave a all american do and yet with a grace and refinement so unique to asian culture . it lead u to explore and to question whether or not this cultural element actually affect the way these character relate and live their life and if the story would otherwise have take a different course altogether . food for thought . charlotte be remarkably powerful and engage in it simplicity . just beautiful to watch . bravo .
