Sitting alone one night watching HBO, I came upon this film, and was really impressed by it. The characters are very emotional, and the setting (Budapest, Hungary) is in a place which is one of my favorite regions in the world. The story starts out very dark and vividly and doesn't lose it's grip thru the suprising climax, and if in were made in by Hollywood, instead of being regarded in the Canadian film industry it would have gain some more recognition, I highly recommend this thriller, it surely has become one of my favorite movies.

As a writer, I am inspired by the main character's style of expression. As a woman, I am inspired by the chemistry between the two characters. One of the few videos i actually own and desire to see over and over...

This is an incredibly powerful, emotional film. It is funny, at times, but the most poignant line I've ever heard/seen in a film is well worth the cost of this film. The basic premise of the final scene was enough to spur a radical change in my outlook on life. Buy this film!!

I have never seen such a good movie. It was amazing!

This movie was an amazing journey that really shows how well it was made. I really loved the acting and the plot. Taking place in Budapest, a young American becomes intrigued by the dark psyche that stalks the atmosphere which he eventually becomes obseessed with, and in that finds a diturbed young woman who becomes a dark part of his everlasting nightmare he lives in.

I feel like this film just ultimately sums up what it means to visually write poetry. Ultimately, this film hooked me because of the skillfully crafted combination of spoken poetry over a deeply rooted issue...the issue being love. Anyone who views this film will be astonished by the amazing feeling they recieve upon completion. There are some rather explicit sequences, however, thankfully to my requirements, they are purposeful, and actually belong. Do yourself a favor and go buy this film immediately!!!

I'm a huge fan of Eric Shaeffer's work, but I did not know this film exsisted till an airing on the sundance channel a few months ago and I have to say this is the most true to form film about love and loss that I have seen to date. Anyone looking for a film that challenges their perceptions of what love can be, what it really is, or what hope does to the restless...this is the film for you...

This film has become one of my all time favorite movies.
Ed Sheffer is unbelievable. I've seen the film several times, everytime it's on tv, I have to watch. Mr. Sheffer who wrote, directed and starred in the movie, has written one of the sexiest, and poetic scripts ever! This movie was GROSSLY OVERLOOKED! I cannot wait for this man's next film!
Excellent editing as well. I have to have this film in my collection and turn friends on to it. Definitely a must have.

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. A friend told me about this movie so I rented it for a long weekend. I watch it 5 times that weekend.

I rented this movie because it had Jurgen Prochnow in it, but they wasted a fine actor. The whole movie is a waste. This is a low budget, poorly written and acted supposed thriller. There aren't too many thrills, but a lot of bad dialog, contrived situations and a lead character that does one stupid, implausible thing after another.
