a simple story mystified
5 September 1999
Well, my first language is neither French nor English, so I d better make it simple. Technically, it's good. The shooting, the gaffer, the performance of the actors... all of them are good. The film does tell the story that the director wants to tell and it also creates the suspended atmosphere successfully. But should we expect more from a film? A great film must have not only good techniques but also ample contents.

Yes, the film's good, but you won't be able to remember anything about Onoff after u see the film. The characters are just too hallow and obscure. Coz it's too empty, the director must deliberately mystify the film. I believe many viewers will be misled at first and will think it as some kinda detective story.

Or, as the literature critics' cliche, its contents is its form?
