I found he film too “arty” and way too slow. I appreciate the subject and it’s treatment a lot. But as entertainment, it was hardtop get involved. By killing off half the romantic couple in the first few frames. it’s hard to develop a feeling for them or her. It becomes a socio-political thriller, and there aren’t enough actual thrills to make it into that genre.
Technical question, Who is actually doing the singing on the final art song. It didn’t seem like Marina had acquired the vocal power as evident in her lessons to do it. Also, regardless of what transformations are done to an adult male, it seems unlikely that a soprano with a full chest voice would emerge. But that’s what movies are for, aren’t they? to fool and tantalize us..
Hasta luego.
I totally enjoyed the pace of this movie — it gave me time to appreciate the loneliness of this individual, the subtleties and nuances of her unspoken feelings, and the pain that comes with her situation. I found the film excellent entertainment — i did not want to miss one facial expression, one shot of her eyes or face as she struggled through the various humiliations of her life.
5 stars from me!
What is the song that plays during the final credits? It is not on the soundtrack and I cannot find that info. Would love to find out who it is. Loved the film!
Kevin, I want to know too! Its was incredible.
What is the song that plays during the closing credits? It is not on the soundtrack. Would love to know what it is. great movie!
Time by Alan Parsons Project. Weirdly not credited in the credits.
I thought it was Time too by Alan Parsons but on listening, it is not. The credits song is much slower.
Listen again. It is Alan Parsons’ Time.
