Whoever wrote the description needs to change it. The first sentence literally and immediately spoils the plot. DO NOT READ IT! I am incredibly disappointed that I won't be able to enjoy all the twists and turns this movie has to offer just because someone couldn't put a spoiler filter between their brain and their keyboard.

Unless you think a classic is a horrible movie with a great cast and big budget. One of the biggest flops in history... So I guess it is a classic flop. Don't waste your money.

Criminally underrated film. An interesting, cohesive film with the occasional odd metaphor. A fantastic film score, along with a truly fantastic premise make for Ann enjoyable watch if you pay attention to the details!
