There is very little dialog in this movie, and that is perfectly OK by me. It is an introspective film, a character study on two lonely people. I kept on thinking that if the dialog were in another language, say french, this would be mistaken for a foreign arthouse movie. It also reminds me a lot of Jean-Pierre Melville, quiet, beautifully shot, and with a bit of crime elements. I'd even go as far as saying that this can be considered a neo-noir. The believability written for the lead characters ultimately leads to an uncinematic ending, but I was satisified and wouldn't have it any other way. I especially like the little metaphor of using a coat repeatedly to signify affection.
