To me, this movie is perfection.

A lot of fun.

Blistering performances.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Up front: I would be lying outright if I claimed to understand this movie entirely. Outwardly, it is an adroit (if somewhat clinical) dissection of the quirky relationship between a lepidopterist and her apparently submissive lover. However there are, I am quite sure, many nuances and sub-references that managed to elude me. If the aim of the director was to pin the affair onto a sort of mounting board for examination without killing it stone dead in the process, it was at least partially successful. The narrative neatly begs the question: who is actually the Dominant party in a Dominance/Submission context? The inevitable ritualisation of such a partnership comes under efficient scrutiny, as do the erotic mechanics -but thankfully, those seeking abundant titillation (or, indeed, much of a story) would do well to look elsewhere. Everything plays out over a season in a rather eccentric all-female community of bicycling scholars of butterfly, moth and insect matters. Somehow, this seems perfectly reasonable and not remotely surreal within the ambit of the movie. I believe this to be a work of great brilliance, if devoid of much human warmth. It is a tribute to the direction that I didn't miss that warmth, and the whole enterprise succeeds effortlessly. Certain scenes are quite sublime (the visit of the 'Carpenter', for example); the acting first-class, and the vision disciplined -I use that term advisedly! Please see it for yourself; at least you will not find anything else very like it.

Nothing like a lesbian artsy film filled with insect metaphors to bring out the curmudgeon in me. I might even include a plot spoiler or two although I am not sure the film had a plot.Cynthia (Sidse Babett Knudsen) and Evelyn (Chiara D'Anna) are lovers and entomologists in a community of female entomologists which seems to represent some sort on insect community or perhaps it is the other way around. At home Cynthia is the queen bee while Evelyn is the submissive drone. Although we eventually find out Evelyn enjoys being the drone more than Cynthia enjoys being dominant...whose the naughty girl. It is a light S&M relationship that bored me to tears. It reminded me of an old Italian film , especially the sound track.I didn't get anything out of it.Guide: No swearing or nudity. Some F/F sex.

First things first: this is not the type of movie for the ones who lack imagination and need to be drawn instructions to be able to follow a movie. It is so much more than a lesbian BDSM movie. sound and visual are stunning and done to a detail and Sidse Babett Knudsen's performance (IMO) carries this movie. one just cannot take one's eyes off of her. her face shows all the emotions needed to be sucked in and fall in love with this movie. even if you're not familiar with all the movie references this movie contains you can still fully enjoy the movie as it leaves everything to your own imagination and understanding symbolism.

This movie tries to be so many things, and fails at all, the one thing it excels at is being a complete waste of time.The people writing good reviews for this film are either somehow affiliated with it, or truly have no idea what a decent movie is.The entire movie is based on little scripts the two women rehearse, and there is maybe three of them, and then it's a simple matter of 'rinse and repeat'.I have NO IDEA why the director thought that a woman peeing into another woman's mouth would be in any way appealing to anyone, apart of course for those out there that are extremely kinky, of course you don't see this, thank god for that, but you do hear it.As I mentioned the movie just repeats itself over and over again until it ends, it's just utter crap, and there are moments in the film where there is insanely annoying sounds with obscure images in the background, it's like the director/editors had completely run out of ideas and put these bits in to simply make the movie longer, of course they would have been doing us all a favor had they simply left them out, or better still, never made the movie in the first place.ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!.
