    A strange and wonderful film. Classical Hamartia is on full display here: a cast of interesting, full-of-pathos characters cast themselves wide, too wide, in an array of questionable ventures, and the film (in a minimalistic 90 or 100 minutes) chronicles their slow falls back down to where they started. Some make it out okay, others with pie on their face. The films willingnesses to “go there” with the consequences surprises me every time I watch it. A hauntingly beautiful ghost-world becomes an almost stage-play-like setting. Wives bear the consequences of their husbands actions. An exceptional and exceptionally sensitive film.
