The cover has this line on it : "There is nothing sweeter than revenge".
Well not if it is inflicted on the woman one loves more than anybody else. Not if it is directed at the person that you wish to be with most. Perhaps it is sweet if it brings you closer to your love. The film is liberating, this is my favorite word to describe a feeling of lightness that some movies pour into me. The movie is woven around this one character who is divorced by his lady because of his inability to fulfil his role as a "man". This was also a subject in one of the movies in Decalogue by Kieslowski, where this inability breeds infidelilty in the lady.
In this film it leads to divorce, but the male protagonist's undoubted love leads him to the riches of the world and finally to his lady. The path from separation to getting back together is a long winding road and that is what makes the story ingeniuos. Watch it ! ***1/2
