Strictly For Adults Only
Been a while I have seen an intense film. Can't say much about the movie as it shifts genres elegantly and the way it leads us to the revelation is amazing, also, as there are few unexpected horror parts inside the film. If you are planing to watch the movie, irrespective to your likeness to such genres, please do yourself a favour by not checking the reviews on internet.
Here is a gist of the film : When one of the collegue/friend of a psychotherapist lands in the prison accused for murder, the Doctor should find ways to protect the victim who seems to be suffering from schizophrenia during the act of crime. But in the process, to find the cure or solve the mystry, the Doctor should open such doors which could lock him inside forever. Slowly loosing the ability to distinguish, the Doctor should hurry not only to save his friend but himself too.
The vision seen through the travels are wonderfully picturised and the theme music (given the link below) is vibrant. The camera works are so punctual that it enhances the genre paths that this film travels on, in its 150 minutes runtime. The dialogues are terrific even for a subtitled translation (and they are quite easy to follow with a bit of attention here and there). The artists and the technical crew, I don't know any of them to credit individualy, but every one were fabulous, esp. the man behind the camera during the final act and the climax.
The Blue Elephant - Silence of an Egyptian Lamb
Here the music that raises the viewing experience.
