If you love beautifully slow paced movies with irregularly modulated sound, fairly good acting and an intensity that will rivet your head to a pillow, then this is the movie for you.
Here we have your typical brilliant university scientist whom apparently lost his wife and child. He becomes neurotically reclusive and anti-social, swallowing more pain pills than House. He limps around with a cane (like House), for reasons unknown and peeks out the window a lot. He is building some kind of contraption, whose purpose is only vaguely hinted at. He never talks much but when he does, he swears and is angry like at his friends and neighbors. He hasn't been to work for years and can't handle his liquor.
His contraption breaks down. So he orders some parts. The parts, a Foo-foo valve and some Kenitson bits I think, are then installed in this whatever it is. A wheel with a light turns around and it sucks all the power out of his house. The lights get real bright then they dramatically go out.
New neighbors move in. He's some kind of chauvinistic, business-like, metro yuppie (at first) and she....well, she's kinda homely, I guess. She seems drawn to him, for reasons unknown. She comes by to say hi in one visit and the next time, to invite him to a housewarming party. He basically keeps tells her to GTFO. She is not happy with metro-yuppie man.
He turns on his thingamajig and that's where things get a bit convoluted and fuzzy. Stuff happens to him. I'm not really sure what though.
The movie has nice background music. If you like vague plots that make you fill in the blanks, see it.
