well conceived, well directed, good music but...

I watched this movie on DVD since it was not released to cinema but directly on DVD supports as commercial choice made by the director Infanscelli. Infascelli gets the right mood filming this story using only actresses. They go on a little island to perform the water cure, some sort of extreme diet using only water, i mean drinking only water, staying together, trying maybe to open their minds, expanding their knowledge into nature and other sorts of things. I liked this story until i recognized something, the dead twin, absorbed by the other that is the one alive, a concept used in many other novels even by Stephen King in one of its most famous book. Once you understand this, all magic seems to disappear but still remains a good exercise in style and in music as well.

As good as the premises are and the end of magic comes, you see the main character in front of a mirror discovering her dead twin's rest, a tooth in her upper arm, she then understands other things becoming living revenge against all those who tried to fool her, despise her and blame her.

Good movie but not excellent, i feel like there was so much left unexplored... six out of ten!
