The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996)

A Mathematics professor places an ad looking for a girlfriend and meets a Literature professor. They establish a sexless relationship, according to his theories. But she isn't all that comfortable with the situation.

I found this film quite incompreehensible, in human terms. Which does not mean that on some abstract level it cannot be endured (on account of the cinematography, mainly). I suspect it's all a joke around the fact that Barbra is actually quite gorgeous. And also around the other fact that one cannot make a theme out of the manipulation of people by movies when one is a character in a movie: the purported critique becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Rating: 26
