| Plot: | A couple lose their young son when he falls out the window while they have sex in the other room. The mother's grief consigns her to hospital, but her therapist husband brings her home intent on treating her depression himself. To confront her fears they go to stay at their remote cabin in the woods, "Eden", where something untold happened the previous summer. Told in four chapters with a prologue and epilogue, the film details acts of lustful cruelty as the man and woman unfold the darker side of nature outside and within. |

Quotes

[repeated line] She: [yelling] Where are you? He: What do you think is supposed to happen in the woods? Fox: Chaos reigns. She: A crying woman is a scheming woman. She: Nature is Satan's church. He: What I understood, was that you wanted to write alone. So you could finish your thesis. She: But I didn't. He: You didn't. She: You see? You didn't even know that. He: Why did you give up? That's not like you. She: The whole project just seemed less important, up there. As you said, when I talked to you about my subject: 'glib.' He: I never called your subject glib. She: Perhaps you didn't use that word, but that's what you meant. And, all of a sudden, it was glib. Or, even worse, some kind of lie. He: I see. She: No, you don't see. You see a lot of things, but not that. |
