Modern love is a complicated thing. If we didn't know that already, we could learn it from this film depicting the emotional chaos of metropolitan twenty-somethings. Their perplexing shenanigans and licentious mischiefs are skillfully integrated into a strict cinematic form. But is there any place for real romance at all?
