`Gorgeous and traumatizing. I'll never look at fish hooks quite the same way again. A beautifully nasty story of a mute woman who runs a house boat motel of some ill repute. Great location, often breath taking poetic visuals and ambiance, and wonderful storytelling with extremely little dialogue. Incredible moments of exchange between the key characters, often wordlessly, and always impeccably rendered, simply luscious beats Hollywood cinema seldom has patience to allow for. Caution though, beautiful as this film is, and it is, this film also has some of perhaps the most jarring if not simply downright disturbing moments of cruelty and mutilation in ways I have never seen before, and that, my friends, is saying something, especially of much merit when this film never becomes exploitative, cheesy or anything less than deliciously poetically loaded and dramatically charged. ´
