Unfortunately, the couple's intimacy is not especially interesting.

Chris is the putative author of the film's images, but they're overlaid with Claudine's relentlessly overwhelming voice-over, which alternates between a crisp, knowing lecture about Bosch and more personal musings.

You're either going to love this film and run out to see everything Majewski has directed, or you're going to be bored silly.
