Grisly psychological study of a husband's mental greed and cruelty, with enough melodrama to send anyone into a spin. The overall look and feel of the film are both superb, although the build up and back story feel laboured and unnecessary, with an immediate degree of malice in the husband instantly decoupling some of the narrative tension. Still, some of the photography is breathtaking and moody, with the acting split between the vital hysterics required from the leads and one or two redundant, overblown characters.
