After working for three years on a novel, writer Martin Frost borrows the empty country house of his friends for a long-needed rest. No sooner does he arrive, however, than an idea for a new story ins...( read more  read more... )pires him to get back to work. When he wakes the following morning, eager to begin his new tale, Martin is shocked to find a strange young woman sleeping next to him in bed--the attractive, effervescent Claire. Presumably the niece of his hosts, Claire wittily overcomes Martin's initial resistance to her, and the two of them agree to share the country house, while promising to respect each other's space. Soon their attraction for each other takes over and they begin to fall in love. But, is Claire really the person she claims to be? As Martin nears the finish of his story, Claire falls deathly ill. Does this mysterious muse have an existence independent from Martin's story? Can the imaginary cross over into the real world, and, if so, what are the consequences?

    The second half of this movie goes straight downhill. The addition of new characters turns into a complete jumble of unnecessary confusion. Im a fan of David Thewlis, but the second half of this movie was just too random to ignore.

    Gimmicky failed mindfuck makes P. Auster look like a pretentious fool who has nothing to say or show. No idea of his intent.
