Movie Haiku:Basically a one-woman show with Charlotte Rampling as a widow "going through the motions" in the months after her husband's disappearance. Despite all evidence to the contrary, she refuses to accept his death. Neither of us found this coherent or compelling, although Rampling herself is mesmerizing.
