If you watched Gone Girl and actually understood it, then this is the movie for you.
Just like in Gone Girl, the plot point is Mina, well educated and successful woman (and wife) that goes missing one day. But unlike with Gone Girl, we are not led trough this intricate and elaborate path of murder and revenge. No, and here lies the brilliance of this movie, we are led down the path of absurdity and meaningless of societies perception of what it means to be successful, have family, status and power.
Mina, just like character of Amy in Gone Girl, has a different persona for every occasion. And to all people around Milan, her husband, she is this cool, elegant, exquisite super woman. They constantly ask about her, they comment his looks and behavior based on what she would think; and what her reaction would be. We see him completely lost and lacking without her.
So, he invents lies and excuses for her absence. And when she comes back, he doesn't even dare to ask her where she was.
And this is why this movie is so ahead of it's time. As the times are becoming more and more progressive, men will have to question their roles and place in the world more and more often. And if anything, this movie shows us that men are not ready to deal with that.
We see that Milan, has no life, no friends and no family without his wife. Once she's gone, he struggles to find himself. He hides the fact that he's wife is missing. He is afraid to report it to the police. He is free, but unable to cope with his freedom, so he regresses to decadency and self destruction.
Excellent movie, but the theme and the subject matter is deep. Be aware. Not for easy viewing.
