Let me first say that I had very high hopes for this film when I rented it. This film let me down in a huge way, and in many ways.

My main gripe with this film is the story. I found it utterly pointless. It makes no sense, and explains nothing. It starts off well, building up some tension, and you can sense the beginnings of something going wrong for Marc. But when the plot (or lack thereof) begins to unfold, it becomes ridiculous. The strange innkeeper Bartel knocks Marc out, cuts his hair and puts him in a dress, and calls him by his wife's name (who left him years back). The very strange people from the nearby village want him (they think Marc is Gloria as well) too. And, my friends, that is the entire story. Nothing else is explained, nor is an attempt made to make any sense out of what is happening. Is everybody there just totally whacked? Is there something deeper at work? Well...you'll never find out.

On another note, the acting in the film is awful. The acting seems forced, and the emotions are fake. It's hard to feel sorry for Marc and his ordeal because you don't feel any connection to him. You don't feel any connection to any of the characters, for that matter. The only thing I felt while watching this film was annoyance, as I kept waiting for it to get better, and it didn't.
