Dark and grim. Excellent performances. I didn't know any of the actors, so that made the experience more intense. They were to me the real characters of a very dismal film, almost as if I was watching a documentary.
I think the only two redeemable characters are the husband and wife --with their little boy-- while all the rest of the coterie are as awful as they come.
What horrible people! and the richer they were the more disgusting and vulgar they seemed to be! I think nobody accomplishes anything in this story, and if some of them did before we get to know them, living in supernatural riches and comfort --easy money-- it didn't last too long...
Interesting movie, although I don't really get the point of watching the ups and downs of such depressing characters.
One thing bothered me throughout the whole film: Why do they insist --English spoken films-- in having "foreigners" speaking English (as if it was the native tongue) with an accent of the real "native" language (whichever country they represent in a movie)??
That makes the whole movie phony, because no "native" of any country speaks his mother tongue with an accent.
