This three-character piece centers on Paul, a young poet and recovering alcoholic; billionaire businessman Victor who befriends and employs him; and Victor’s young wife Elsa, an alcoholic who has chosen to recover without the help of Paul’s much-relied-upon AA meetings. The story builds in intensity as over the course of a summer, Paul and Elsa become romantically involved. The three main characters clash and challenge each other’s beliefs as they grapple with their own inner demons. (official distributor synopsis)

English The same way HBO sponsored and filmed The Sunset Limited based on a dialogue-based stage play, it also focused on another dialogue-based theatre play, which made do with three character, who are all alcoholics. Contemplations about life were a bit worse in this case and I didn’t love the dialogues either, which is not good if this is supposed to be a good dialogue-based movie. But it’s not too bad either, that’s for sure. ()
