  linked because I don't know anything about your film tastes.
  Now, I hope YOU don't take this negatively: this film is a lesson in sublety. No, there isn't a lot of dialogue: one senses the tension by what is NOT done, as much as what is.
  One example: in that society, as is shown, hospitality is not just a favor but a responsibility. Whether or not it is a burden, the host cannot or should not convey.
  Anyhow, you may wish to revisit it now that you have heard the director.
  There are many such movies. As I've mentioned, it's almost a genre, i.e. the mid-life crisis.
  "A Taste of Cherry," "Japon," "La Dolce Vita", "8 1/2..." There are many superb films, among the best ever made.
  But hey, not everyone will like everything.
  I almost feel like I owe you your rental fee...
  Sorry, but my opinion is just that of one guy.

    Since the Film Asylum group is such a caring group to offer to reimburse me, I want to let you know...
    I found the movie "Distant" at the Video store, viewed it then looked at what inmates had to say about it.
    Evidently few others have had a chance to see it.
    (So, Tinear, you don't need to spring for a video rental...but thanks anyway)

          Tinnear, thanks for your suggestions.
          I will check out the mentioned movies.
          Regarding the other posters, ...you are a tough bunch.No prob.
          Perhaps you can buy me an annual Blockbuster/Netflix subscription,
          Send me an email and you can credit my Paypal account .
          Who knows, if I get enough money, I can get PatrickU a crash course on etiquette and the use of the F word. ; )
