This film stood out at the Cinequest Film Festival, where I initially saw it.
A macabre, yet darkly amusing tale of romantic/sexual obsession and artistic hubris. The leads were played with a mix of consciously affected pomposity and real edge. The HD cinematography (with some 35mm I believe) was spectacular at times, and had a very filmic and surreal visual impact. The score was also lush and haunting, and suited to the subject matter. There was a really integrated approach to visuals, set design, score and performance that made this a rich filmgoing experience.
Overall, a uniquely twisted film that stands out on the indie film landscape.
