Although well-directed, with clever special-effects that accurately match the characters’ emotional states, these very personalities are actually quite unlikable. That fact makes this a decidedly-unempathetic piece of drama - without even the solace of its audience knowing why the characters are so ethically mediocre.

A self-indulgent film about self-indulgent people under whose skin we never get. The ménage à trois presented has no real reason for existing other than to show the moral disintegration of the Bohemian social set depicted; inevitably produced by unloving childhoods. The sex-obsessed art and Communism-drenched politics so created are almost always worthless – save to their creators: Those unable to sustain meaningful personal relationships.

Ultimately, a pitiable waste of quality actors.
