Basically, a film about sexual jealousy, treachery and fatality shot through with observations on filmmaking and getting movies made the way the artist truly desires.
The characterization is flat and the actors do little more than read their lines as opposed to acting them out dramatically. The color scheme is also distracting with reds predominating to no emotional effect.
This film is too long for its thin content and, for no particular reason, the time-scheme flits around without adding anything to the drama; leaving us with a movie playing backwards. A film as unfinished and unpolished as the movie-within-a-movie we see being made and, yet, one of the themes here is not leaving things unfinished.
