The film tells the story of an American

The film tells the story of an American writer who decides to come to Paris to visit his daughter from a once-happy marriage. He’s drowning in financial troubles and is forced to take a job as a night watchman in a semi-shady establishment, where he works on writing a book. The protagonist is filled with bitterness and apathy toward the world and everyone around him—except his daughter. But everything changes dramatically when he meets Margit. Who is this mysterious woman? What happened between Tom and his ex-wife? What lies ahead for him? We don’t get clear answers. From what I understood, the woman is a persistent thought and a personification of his mental illness—something he refused to acknowledge but eventually accepted and surrendered to. Another important moment: when the main character asks how long he’s supposed to stay with her, she replies, “undefined.” So, the screenwriter does leave him a chance at recovery. Although the meaning is deep and interesting, the film itself is quite dull, and the main character’s story is not really revealed. It’s a rather unconventional film and won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. For me, for example—it wasn’t.

Many disappointed customers of a movie mischaracterised as

Many disappointed customers of a movie mischaracterised as thriller. This in fact is an intellectual, metaphysical work. The hero is an estranged father who is trying to reconnect with his young daughter who lives with her mother. We are never told if before arriving to Paris he was in prison or a psychiatric asylum. He keeps suffering losses. The day he arrives, takes the bus, falls asleep and he is robbed of all his possessions. Then he meets an alluring older woman, starts a relationship and later is revealed that this woman had killed herself about twenty years earlier. He also falls in love with a young immigrant girl who behaves more like a mother figure to our unmoored protagonist. The excellent cinematography includes recurrent pictures of forest life that is not clear what they symbolize. In the final scene he appears determined to abandon ordinary reality and follow his older lover.
