The movie is not a genre a tad outside my usual ... AND ... I was engaged by it throughout. It was a slow moving, sometimes ponderous storyline, but as the plot 'thickened' (:-)) it engaged my thoughts and my feelings in positive ways. The cinematography was astounding. Excellence in lighting was essential and they succeeded admirably. Close-ups of faces were superb. The acting was good. The one character that I really loved was Markus -- ever the optimist, credulous, slap-you-on-the-back fellow, who you know is going to come crashing down at some point.. The actor playing the part of the fellow, Doug Eames, captured the vulnerability and big-heartedness of the guy, even as the character appeared to be suffering from burnout and chronic fatigue syndrome. He was really well cast.
One thought, I wonder how it would look in B&W. It had a feel of '50s fillm-noir. Barbara Stanwyck would play the female lead perfectly :-)
