That's not to say the film shuns pretension. Oh no: Adam and Eve (Femi Ogumbanjo and Hanne Klintoe) pad about, Blue Lagoon-style, in a finger-wagging allegory that parallels what can only half-heartedly be called "the main story." Indeed, whereas Figgis's attempt to fathom the complexities of character is refreshing in this age of easy archetypes, his infatuation with such top-lofty symbolism quickly erodes this Loss's gains.
