Caught this rather cold, creepy & anaethetized thriller by Mark Romanek - his 'video' background is evident.
Robin Williams gives a chillingly downbeat & retained performance as a solitary, unloved photo processor who invades the privacy of a young couple.
The photography is clean & cold, (video-like?) but the film just doesn't seem to go anywhere after the story unfolds and (probably me) I didn't get the ending with Williams' photos displayed on the table at the end.
Maybe someone can help me with that?
