Review of Betrayal

Betrayal (2012)
Murder,medicine and metaphysics Russian style
16 June 2013
Long, confusing, sometimes sexy but unsatisfying Ruskie infidelity drama.

In an attention getting opening, Lilic shows up for a heart check with fetching Dr. Petri, who announces that their spouses are having an affair, before a SUV mows down a bus stop behind still confused Lilic, launching a complicated sequence of events, where reality and metaphor mix without sufficient indicators.

Blue tinged colour & 'Scope images are occasionally striking but the piece is confusing and uninvolving. At nearly two hours, it outlasts its value as drama or guessing game.
