Years ago I read of a poem square which offered a different poem whether read up, down, left, or right and waited in vain for the work in question to at last produce the poem. It never did. SImilarly this movie disappoints. What are these love letters so powerful that they cause not just one woman to pine her life away over them, but her daughter to do so as well? We never find out. I imagine diappointment as well, iff the poetry with which the hero woos is antything to go on:
"I love you because your name is Juliana and other reasons I cannot say." Uh, I know your name and stuff. The hero is a would be vilain who would not stay against Tina's will. "It's her will that counts." Some works about strange people make one less lonely, if one considers oneself strange in the world. This one does not. As Tina says, "It's only being with people that makes one lonely," or being with certain characters.
