The same "love rectangle" storyline recurs in three different cities (New York, Berlin, and
Tokyo) in this polyphonous gem from indie king Hartley. When jealousy and infidelity invade
the lives of three separate couples--and a gun is involved--the results are the same the
world over. --MovieFinder.com
