"Klimov’s film is an unflinching examination of evil and embraces the surreal in places, while serving up dirty doses of realism in others. The barn burning sequence is the most haunting scene I’ve seen on film."

This fascinating little novel is a speculative fiction study about fitting in vs. being different, that's witty, surreal and thought provoking. Read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/06/02/in-his-own-space/

A very surreal film

I didn't bother reading any reviews before I watched this Sky Original film. I was impressed by the cast line up and like a noir, mystery film. At least that's what you think you are going to see. It's one of just a handful of films with a surreal twist that will make most people think "are you serious?". Should have just stuck to a normal thriller plot. At least the scenery is nice to look at.

This is definitely a weird movie. But it's very good. The acting is superb, the story is complex, and the visual aesthetic is both surreal and perfectly '60s. It's a story about love and freedom that doesn't forget it's 1962.

"A surreal world of characters trapped in a house, the book felt more like a dream than a story. I loved it because it was so different from anything else I ever read. I was never particularly interested in Opera, but this story swept me away."

"I saw this film in college, and I’ve never been the same since. It’s a bit slow in parts, but the imagery is so surreal and magical that I copied the look many times in some of my own films. The art direction is a masterpiece."

Nice visuals...

A very Artistic film from Ryan Gosling stepping behind the camera. The visuals and sound track are great and very cool. Sadly the film as a whole is a little odd and surreal. Bit of a marmite film I think.
