Camoo I saw this film years ago and it really stuck with me. Long, brooding shots, cinematography that evokes Tarkovsky, deserted landscapes and intense characterization. So many films from this part of the world that have never been seen by most people - it brings to mind another Hungarian film 'Time Stands Still', a masterpiece which remains in obscurity today. Masnap I somehow acquired on a busted old VHS tape, and have watched the film repeatedly in that format. It has proved difficult to acquire a better copy. I've seen two of Attila Janisch's films, and found they both contained a strong, clear vision and a haunting tone. I hope to see more.

Taivo Stimmer When you like Mulholland Dr. or 2001:Space Odyssey, then this movie is for you. When you like U.S. trash comedies don't watch it. Yes, it is a movie hard to watch. Even the critics have told that this movie is too complicated, but I'm sure that Attila Janich had a purpose to create it that way. I've heard that to truly understand the movie you have to detect very little details. I couldn't detect them myself, but this was not a problem. When the film ends, then you'll see, that the whole is what makes it masterpiece- cinematography, editing and the music. So if you are home alone and you have the Masnap DVD, don't hesitate, just watch it.

jon-370 I saw this @ SIFF - right after his film 'The Long Twilight' which honestly I preferred. The main actor here reminded me quite a bit of John Lithgow. The disturbing climactic scene was equal parts murder scene from the end of 'Twin Peaks:Fire Walk With Me' and ape-murder-with-bone scene from 2001. I had just seen 'November' a few days before. I was struck with similarities to this film - several short segments each preceded by a still card with a short name. In November we had 'Denial', 'Acceptance' ... here we had 'The Sky', 'The Dirt' ... In both November and this film we have an ambiguous mixture of events preceding along a general time line and the same events be relived but slightly differently. Both November & this film were created in 2004, with November "being written in 2 weeks" - perhaps enough time for this film to be the basis for November (which of course has a much thicker veneer of Lynchian visual & sound effects).

phillamg In short avoid this film.Before watching this film the director told the audience that it may not make sense as we watched it (as time is not sequential and the lead character has memory problems) but by the final scene it would all reveal itself to us.*** Slight Spolier but very important ***He lied. The direction and the changing time points without of knowledge kept us interested and we needed to know how it all knits together but the ending was so weak with no explanation of why the character(s) were motivated to do it. Very disappointed.
