Eternal clouds of an isolated mind

A Swiss psychological drama; A story about a loner and private investigator whose surveillance equipment is stolen by someone who offers him the chance to break out from his self-isolation. This melancholic film is inventive, eerie, peculiar, captivating magic realism. It works a theme about escape from grief and loneliness, and addresses issues about digital surveillance and privacy. The film starts promisingly, but sags with the introduction of a weirdo-boy-meets-pretty-girl narrative and their madcap twists whereupon it focuses too much on clever technique than story spine. Nevertheless, intrigue is held across the strange characterisations and imaginative touches.

Sci-fi meets Coppola's Harry Caul of "The Conversation"

A very good sci-fi concept, poorly executed. As the film begins, you are reminded of Harry Caul of Coppola's "The Conversation," which was brilliantly played by Gene Hackman.

This film cannot boast of a Hackman or a John Cazale.

You have a dead father being cremated but we are never told how he died.

Secondary characters like Aloys' childhood classmate are never fleshed out. The concept of a drunk Aloy being locked up in a bus does not ring true. It appears he had urinated in his trousers in one shot. In a later shot, there is no such evidence.

All in all it is a film that had so much potential that fails to deliver.
