On occasion, some directors break the mold of the 'atypical' social guidancce film and make the film in a style all on their own. Like for example, 'Boy with A Knife' and this film, which the director made after apparently watching one too many Bunuel films. Nice lighting, striking camera shots and great imagery (The shot of the back of Mary's neck is particularily effective) makes 'Cheating' totally worth while. While some of the acting by the supporting cast is a little bad, the leads are great, and make this little film highly reccomended on this site.
