Serendipity. I thought I was off to a bad start, bringing home the wrong dvd in the case belonging to another film. So, I did not want to see this film but I am glad I did. In all probablility my chosen movie would not have been as superb a slice film as this delectable and delicate taste of what independants in both US and Europe can do together. Seven years apart, two heroine sisters embark on fantastic journeys through early 1970's post-student demo / Baader-Meinhof Europe. Sumptuously shot in the Algarve, Portugal; and in Berlin, Paris, and Amsterdam (the film is reminiscent of BBC tv's "Lost on a Train": Paul Verhoeven's "The Fourth Man", but has its own distinct flavour), it's touchingly acted by Brewster , Diaz and especially Christopher Ecclestone. The story unveils itself along an abstracted plot, capturing the ephemeral emotions of these characters as they confront their relationships and see idealised images of each other and themselves shattered. A movie with great refinement and taste. Well worth experimenting with.
