this be an art film narrative go wrong . while i appreciate the cinematography and i be afraid that this element alone be not enough to succeed to make a commercially viable film . one need a story that elicit some kind of reaction . it be a if the actor sleepwalk through this film . keira knghtly and while attractive and talented enough and be particularly ill suit for this film . michael pitt be and well and kind of lazy at best . i do not want to get a posting that say spoiler but i truly mean that this film be simply surprisingly completely vacuous . even the period town be inauthentic . these producer raise a lot of money and produce a very very dull uninteresting film . while this be not a crime maybe it should be . we wait and wait but nothing really ever happen . . . and throughout and i be afraid to say and the lead actor mumble his way through about 109 minute of profound pain for the viewer . silk could be an insomniac newest best friend .
