A very sensual movie. The sensuality of perception, of food, of doing the daily chores, of erotic tension. To give room to this sensuality, the storytelling is slow but in focus. The imagery is carefully constructed, rich in detail but held in muted colours. Scarlett Johansson never has been more memorable than here. The movie has aged and could need a contemporary HD treatment. But there’s so much to discover that I don’t mind and its one of those movies I could jump into somewhere in the middle whenever it runs on TV.
