The Gemini

Just finished watching "The Gemini" released by Bayview Entertainment.
Ever get the feeling of wondering exactly what you are watching when you're sitting through a movie?
"The Gemini" could have been an intense psycho-drama thriller in the vein of one of Alfred Hitchcock's suspenseful masterpieces where a recently widowed woman is desperately trying to pick up the pieces of her life after the tragic death of her husband in an airplane accident when the mysterious appearance of a friend she never knew her husband had shows up at the memorial service and afterwards a chain of events centered around this friend hints that he might still be alive.
Only "The Gemini," which was hailed as a ground breaking movie about gay love in Myanmar takes a rather bizarre turn by promoting the idea that homosexuality is a mental illness - which I guess is the twist of this movie, which includes flashbacks within flashbacks.
There's also a subplot about a hidden key that is rather odd since part of the resolution centers around an internal home security system that didn't record the first attempt to find the key.
Oh yes, let's not forget the bizarre prison rape scene that is thrown in because, I'm not exactly sure why, except to perhaps provide a clue that someone is insane.
A rather curious movie that could have been so much more.
Two and a half stars.
