A Whale (3 Stars)


This is the third film in the Stuttgart Nights Festival.

Melville has been using a small Spanish port to smuggle goods for the last thirty years. Then his rival Abosolo has the harbourmaster shot in order to take control of the port. Melville contacts the assassin, a mysterious woman who isn't quite human, and asks him to work for her. She kills Abosolo and then turns against Melville himself.

After the film a friend of mine summed it up with the words "That was exhausting". It ran for almost two hours, and when it was over we still didn't understand what had happened. There's a dead whale on the beach, but it has nothing to do with the story.
