...toothy and dried out, but the candied leg proves to be a seductive, swirling mouthful of fat and flesh, judiciously flavored. The other is a reckless cross-cultural misadventure ($23). The grilled swordfish is crumbly and again drained of moisture, with a peripheral dollop of mysterious root vegetable looking sheepish and impertinent.

...leaves a lasting imprint in the mind of the viewer. Slavin’s arresting photographic scenes at the beginning and interspersed throughout the film lend the sequences a more surreal quality, however the repetitive images backed with quiet eerie music and featuring Macy’s intense, yet sheepish, glances, are some of the most memorable of the movie. Focus is surely not a film to be quickly dismissed...
