Subtle, savage and insightful but with such a big heart it is as moving as it is informative about the value of making art that moves.

Självklar klassiker på Filmvetenskapen på 90-talet men numera sorgligt bortglömd… Ett verk om besatthet, sorg och längtan som närmast kan klassas som en ”Film Noir” i sitt berättande där den likt Laura återger skeendet.

...en film som bara luktar film, lyser film, utstrålar film.
