Great movie.

No idea why it's shot in 4:3. Doesn't look good, only point of criticism. Too bad because the cinematography is otherwise great. Beautiful setting, framing and use of color/light is excellent. The score is also on par, although not the most original.

Furthermore, two very strong actors, a mysterious (but fairly predictable) setup and an arthouse atmosphere that flows nicely. It's been a while since I was able to fully enjoy a film like this, Tomina can make more (but then in a normal screen format pls.

4.5* and an extensive review
