Reviews

" Bonellos film follows no moral aim, not even a narrative. His strange beauty he draws from the presence that he gives the everyday life of whores. [ ... ] In a hypnotic dance scene, she self-absorbed to Nights in White Satin. It is a great moment in which it manages the cinema screen to give the characters the freedom that denies them their reality. "

" So completely is not clear what Bonello want to say. His look through the keyhole adds no value, the collapse of bloody violence that occurs in repetitive images of a messerwetzenden suitor as a guide through the film and to prove the contempt of men acting strangely out of place. "

" An opulent still life painting as a farewell to the Belle Epoque, the modernization of the city and the cinema suggests a new way of desire economy with the metro construction. "
