This is the cliché drama of the inhibited woman who discovers the pleasures of love - supposedly.
It starts off with some originality. The dream sequences of deer in the forest were intriguing. But I don't feel much was made of this, and that the director ever succeeded in using this as a tie-in with our purported lovers.
As the film progressed several things went out of wack.
> Her lover looked old enough to be her Dad (the endless fantasy of the beautiful young woman going for the grizzled old folkie)
> What's with these interviews with the crazy psychologist who asks each worker intimate sexual questions - as if this would happen in the workplace environment?!
> The last ten minutes are a baffling transition. Our heroine goes from suicidal, then having sex with the older guy, and it seems after sex -settling into a long-term cozy relationship. No explanation needed; it just all magically happens.
> And really what was the point of having this work setting in a slaughter-house, perhaps to provide arty shots of cows on there way to oblivion
