when the film start i get the feeling this be go to be something special . the acting and camera work be undoubtedly good . i also like the character and could have grow to empathise with them . the film have a good atmosphere and there be a hint of fantasy . however and a the film go on and the plot never appear to takeoff and just roll on scene by scene . i be unable to understand the connection between the story . all i could see be the character occasionally bump into each other and reference to ship in bottle . without that connection and i be just leave with a few unremarkable short story . be surprised it do so well at cannes .
