But I am getting more and more concerned regarding your obsession with Tango - maybe you should start watching something wholesome... like Lawrence Welk? All your attempts at presenting Paul as quintessential middle aged male make little sense. He is nothing but a product of sick mind of an over-indulgent european pseudo-intellectual, whose real calling in life was watching young girls and boys masturbate. At 32 the director was already an old, old senile and impotent man.
Be it as it may, Distant is indeed a fine movie. If anything, it reminds me of work of Antonioni - say, L'avventura.

Paul is a man grieving over the death of his very beloved wife. We know - tinear 08:32:15 02/01/13 (0)
little about this existential figure, except that he's inherited a broken down small hotel.
You completely mischaracterize his sexuality; I saw nothing about voyeurism, except regarding his girlfriend? That's pretty mainstream stuff! I think you're projecting a tad?
The film is a love story, a quintessential one featuring an aging man and a 60s-era type young woman captivated by this charismatic, enigmatic fellow. We see his gruff bravado, however, dissolve as he becomes enchanted. Her attraction, on the other hand, begins to wane as she realizes he's misunderstood her commitment.
It's a great morality tale, actually, for older guys who think young women are easy pickins.'
We at least agree on, "Distant."
SPOILER
And... why do you like it?
The photographer just wants to watch porno most of the time when he's home.
