'Haunted by love, haunted by reality, no escape'



Summary: A schoolteacher (Miereveld or "nest of ants") is entranced by

one of his students (Fran). Not being able to have his love fulfilled

he tries to escape it and moves house and job. Working for the justice

department he is invited by the coroner to join a post mortem examination

which leads to an encounter with his former student and the possibility

to no longer escape his love (Rustique, IMDB)



Review: The theme of escape is very prevalent throughout all facets of

this movie. The off-voice narration creates a sort of detachment that

reflects the detachment of the character with reality and even with the

feelings inside him. Seldom the characters speak while facing the camera

and the music is a wonderful accompaniment to the narrative: fairy-like

and enchanting or confusing and detached. As the inner feelings and

reflections of the characters are the main subject of this movie, it is

strongly narrative driven rather than driven by actions and therefor it

might not suit every 21st century viewer. But I strongly urge people to

allow themselves to follow the reflections and balance on the stream of

consciousness of the characters and see where it takes them. Near the end

different elements fall into place although it may be a place that not

everyone likes or even understands. Strong visuals, strong music, strong

acting, but not suitable for a day when you're on the couch struck by the

flu. (Rustique, IMDB)
