No, people normally don’t talk like if they were reciting poetic prose. Also, they don’t normally act as if they were recreating poetic prose. But that’s the way it is in this film. Then again, people normally don’t talk like they talk in movies anyway. The Girl and the Spider just takes it to the next level. Past, present and potential future loves are coming together and part again in tentative, non-committal ways. Not much is going on otherwise — and why should it?
I still don’t know what to make of this film. I doubt it will be a commercial success anywhere, even in its native Switzerland. Let’s revisit this page twenty years later and check if it’s completely forgotten or became a cult picture. I loved the recurrence and interplay of the main theme by Philipp Moll with, wait a moment, Voyage, voyage — I’m also aware that it could be annoying.
