and how obsession can be stronger than love itself and detached from reality. Before knowing that the dead husband was cheating on his wife the film could appear as being about 'true love' and how it lasts beyond death. After knowing the fact you think of the poor Anna, and the poor human being, that creates these painful feelings that last for such a long time and continue, beyond the length of the movie, to make life almost unbearable. Very interesting movie that lets its leading actress shine as bright as few other actresses can shine today. The 'contrived sequence of events' at the end of the movie as one reviewer put it leaves you somewhat confused and feeling a sense of injustice, which might be representative of the injustice that the leading character must have felt so strongly.
