- Quotes
[first lines]
Récitante: It's often said you're "up against the wall" when you have to show your mettle, your true face - as if the rest of the time you hid your gut feelings behind a phony face, as extra head for putting up a false front. Me, that's all I see -- faces. They seem real, more real than what's conveyed by words. I feel lost in everything around words, I feel lost in everything around faces. Where I am, there's nothing but words and faces.

It's very different than most things I've seen in movies but very much like real life. It is very good. It feels like a documentary and was probably shot like one. It was probably shot without a script, focusing on small details and things like that. It has that feel to it. For those reasons I know a lot of people will not like this movie. But for those very same reasons it will appeal to others. Recommend.
