When businessman Wit spots a dreamy young girl in a hotel bar before dawn, he invites her up to his room to wash up, to his wife’s utter disgust. Halfway between the otherworldly moodiness of director Pen-ek Ratanaruang’s last SIFF film, The Last Life in the Universe, and the zany violence of his first, 6ixtynin9, this drama about a disintegrating marriage has some disturbing implications—the best way to save your marriage is to get slipped some roofies by a homicidal antiques dealer?—but the way it seesaws between fantasy and reality is something to behold.
