Intimate Strangers

This is an extraordinary film, especially in the age of instant gratification seems to be norm, or so it seems at least on the screen. Throughout the film, we, just like the tax lawyer himself who is initially mistaken as a psychiatrist, are only allowed limited access to the two protagonists. We could only see what he sees inside his office, and the whole story is like a myth yet to be decoded with the motivation of the two protagonists never made clear to us, not even until the last moment. Although we could perhaps indeed put a label such as the attractiveness of the opposite to the story. The soundtrack is brilliant in giving the story almost a hint of thriller, like that in a Hitchcock film, in particular his Vertigo.
