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.

Lech Majewski's digital video riff on Death in Venice takes its name from the triptych by Hieronymus Bosch.

There is magic in these intimate passion plays, which are filled with sloppy, loving detail and are mounted without a hint of pretension. Each banal moment becomes achingly gorgeous.
