Ossessione would be the right film title.
Music. The same from the industry in the town. Minimalistic, coming back in a definitive leitmotive. " Lancinant " is the French word.
Emptyness.
Very sensible camera work, innovative in a slow motion way, like a theater changing its scenery.
Actors, perfect.
More a poem.
A film to dream about.
World class, and an instant classic.
Remember -" Passion in the Desert " or Sir Alfredīs " Vertigo "-
Follow Ups:
It is not only an instant classic but a "new" way of creating a film, creating a dreamworld by erasing or deconstructing the lines between fiction, documentary and... reality.
Not much happens and we don't get much explanation... but through some magical reaction between cinematography (more akin to still photography), film score, intelligent and restrained acting, and careful onobtrusive direction... we become part of this story, carried along the narrative stream... involuntarily.
Is anything "simpler" than sushi, yet more satisfying when properly presented?
This film is a feast.
Those that enjoyed it immediately must continue on to "After Life."

Patrick is away on business for a few days, but from my perspective the film is completely spellbinding... I am still under its spell three weeks later. This is a totally uncommon experience.I try not to go overboard in my reviews, as all those "great film" reports have been largely de-valued - something I always argue against, when mediocre stuff is presented as something special, not leaving any room on the scale for better works.
As I said, things like Tony don't happen more than once in a few year, and given the number of truly good films I manage to see each year, this should really be considered a **tremendous** praise.

They are like us or like icebergs, there are much more on the inside than one ever will find out.
The clothes allegory would be a topic to discuss.

You right on Beau Travail, and you betcha the cloth topic had been discussed in this household! :-)While my wife latched on the size of the wordrobe, I kept calling her attention to the outcome!

That may be another view from another room, still good to get.

I hate such reviews with passion. They tell you everything about the movie, without telling you anything. Like listing all the characters in the Rembrandt's Night Watch it leaves me completely bevildered - was it a good or bad film, what impact did it have on the reviewer, is the reviewer even capable of being impacted by a movie, or he simply uses the tools from his Cinema 101 Liberal Arts class? Describing this movie is like describing poetry or Franz Hals's portrait, and there ARE reviwers who can do that, but apparently not that one.I simply felt cheated reading it!

I donīt and I do.
Because, it is a way so far away of what you said and what I did, that this other view is in a way complementary.
I repeat: it is complementary. You should not take it as a review ( I warned you ) but as some details which are fact and that did not occured to our mind, -cause they are without poesie and without feelings.
I can not relate to it, still it is ...complementary on a physical way.
And as such, you are right and...wrong.

People come, appear in one life, says " Hello " on the corner of a door, and give you an antique taste of the things you always were looking for, and in a twist vanishe.
You are left alone.
Are we not all ?
