Almost gave up on this, at least once, for looking so slow and conventional at the outset. But it's anything but. A deceptive black and white, it's a flick full of impact and undertow, along with one of the sweetest depictions of young, innocent, even chaste love that's ever been put on screen (I mean without cynicism). But this is not the centre of the film; on the contrary. Be prepared for goings-on that are a lot heavier, even sordid and filled with a strange malice, with which this is rich.
