Weird things happen to a Ana when she's young, when she's a teen, and when she's a young woman. What actually happens is open to discussion and interpretation. I had never even heard of this film until recently when I saw a trailer for L'étrange couleur des larmes de ton corps (The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears) which looked intriguing and is made by the same people that made this film. This film, which is broken down into three acts is a frantic, frenetic portrait of a three periods of a woman's life. The narrative is strong, told almost completely without dialogue. The film is sensual erotic without being overtly sexual. It is creepy, funny, and moody. The visual style and the way that it is shot is gorgeous. Pretty much everything about this film is fantastic.
Amer is a freakish delight which gets 4.5 out of 5 stars!
