It is really hard for me to rate this movie, in general I found it boring and not my kind of movie at all. After few days though I found myself thinking about it. The Baroque soundtrack write by Michael Nyman makes the film unique but there are so many more things that make the film unique. The set designs are incredible and carry meaning within the colors, for instance blue is for the the parking lot, green for the kitchen, red for the eating room and white for the restrooms.
The overall movie theme is about greed but the whole movie is a metaphor of the society has a result of Thatcherism hence the real villains are off screen and the main character, Albert Spica is just a victim and a result of the society and economic changes.
Furthermore the cast is impressive starting from a marvelous Helen Mirren giving a cold but very emotional performance followed by a young Tim Roth who doesn't speak much but his words are very valuable.
Definitely a movie to be watched.
