This film is an instance of an actor-director's watchful study of maturation — Mr. Schubert appears in almost every scene — effectively meshing with a cinematographer's structuring visual conceit.

This production is not an instance of a strong-willed director seizing on some flimsy subtext to make a contemporary statement.
Magnet Communications, for instance, has a director of stress management (yep, that's what it says on his business cards) and the position is currently occupied by a white Maltese dog named Merlin who belongs to the chief executive.
