I've never seen a movie by Mike Figgis (although I just rented "Leaving Las Vegas" and will watch it later) and I don't know what drew me to see this movie, but Figgis has a very interesting vision. The movie somehow stretches 103 minutes with little events or dialouge occuring. However, I barely noticed the lack of dialouge until much later in the film. The unique thing is events do occur when there is no dialouge. The movie does have a plot that unfolds very quickly and it has some of the strangest plot points I've ever seen. No synopsis could accurately describe what this movie is about or what it's going to look like, but I'll try. The movie begins in Kenya, where we meet a young boy named Nic who watches a young Kenyan girl read to an old man from The Bible in nothing but lingerie. Then, years later, Nic is with his girlfriend (who's name I don't recall) who's father has just died. She ignores him and he catches her necking with some guy in her room. Then, we go back and watch as they attempt to have sex on the floor but are caught by her father who doesn't even notice what they were trying to do. Then, we meet Nic years later. Nic is married and has a young son and his marriage is obviously (although we are never told this directly) in turmoil. But, that's OK because Nic has a mistress who also happens to work with him. He's a film producer and he's traveling to some other country to shoot a movie. During all this, we are shown short vignettes of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, discovering new things. The entire story (with no dialouge whatsoever) is told here. The snake, the fruit. Except they're thrown out by a bunch of cops and barking dogs. Odd. Some of these scenes are very explicit too (especially the ones where both of them urinate), I'm amazed they got away with only an R rating. But, as I've mentioned; there's a huge lack of dialouge.
