The Book of Revelation plot

"A secret he would not share. An obsession he could not control. A mystery he dare not resolve."

On a beautiful sunny day in Sydney, a young man walks down the street to get a pack of cigarettes. He is a dancer and choreographer, internationally known, he has a beautiful French girlfriend from whom he has been inseparable for seven years, plans for a promising future and no regrets about the past. He is charismatic and attractive. Then, as he's walking down a dark alley, he's approached by three women—he still thinks they're fans—who drug him, chain him up, and sexually assault him for 18 days. Their motives remain as inscrutable to him as the story of his kidnapping seems incredible and sometimes even laughable to those he later confides in and tells of his shame.

What kind of butfilm is this? I was expecting something completely different than this.

There is no tension at all, little story and it is just downright annoying. No, I spent 2 hours too much annoyed with this film that I still respect it.

Since it's all possible, the kidnapping, the obsession, it shouldn't all be bad in principle. But alas... it is! Horrible.

Acting performance could be a lot better.

I think it's very nice of myself that I copied him.

I really don't know what to think about this. Some reviewers think it's brave that this film turns the tables and lets the man become the victim instead of the woman, but I can't quite get over the whole dressing up with women looking like nuns from Hell seriously, because the theatricality of it stands in the way of realism for me. And the same actually applies to Daniel's search for the women who did this to him, because he may look for a tattoo or a wine stain on every bed partner, but he could also have considered that if he happened to find one of his hit rapists, she would also have recognized him and then immediately fled. The acting itself isn't bad, especially by the Keith Carradine-like Tom Long, but in the end this is a story that seems to go nowhere and that leaves me wondering why anyone would have this movie. want to make and who would like to see it.
