The film was interesting, there was a wonderful texture but as things progressed one started to go "Shall I have a cup of tea?" "What's that mark on the carpet, the mucky terrier i need to make sure his paws are clean!" . Then suddenly the pace changed and it all turned a tad wierd. Maybe I had nodded off and was looking at a different film. We were then "up the jungle" captured by wierd locals and the man who we are looking for is ..well that would be telling. In the end I was going to say it was "Harmless" ..fact is I could have done without the gratuitous brutality!

Lucretia Martel's hallucinatory, wry, highly cinematic, masterfully directed swipe at colonial arrogance has as much to say about the current state of the world.

I watched this movie as a part of a course. The visual quality was good. I was able to follow the film to make sense of a complex plot.

A sublime and, at times, very funny meditation on the absurdity of colonialism. Martel is a master film maker.

I just couldn't get into it, but I can see it may become interesting once I get past the fractured sequences of the first 20 minutes. I'll let you know, if I can be bothered to watch it again.

A wonderful film. Intellectually and technically on the highest level.

Neither my wife not I could follow this film. It seemed like a mix of Kafka at his most opaque, Duchamps at his most urinacious, and the Mother Goose Book of Nursery Rhymes at its most inconsequential. Sometimes with a puzzling film or a book it seems worthwhile to have another shot at it, to recuperate it in a different way. But I won't be rewatching this. It already went to the church jumble sale.

It’s a DVD what can you say
