Beautifully crafted and well-acted... but the heart of this movie is understanding the characters. What motivated Nick Bannister to pursue his "Eurydice" into the dark underworld of crime? What made him wake up from his listless existence as observer to become an active participant in the hunt for the truth? Was Mae a siren or just a lost soul? Was it just lust that drew them together or did they find a place where life had a meaning for them? Each of the other souls had a secret that drove them - the assistant, the underworld kingpin, the henchman/policeman. The tycoon & the wife& the mistress... each of their stories (and many others) collaborated towards this unusual story of intrigue in a dark near-future world. Link all those stories and you will find an unusual story of very human characters to this poignant meeting of fates and motivations. Sad but beautiful tale!
