9/10
a real pleasant surprise
23 August 2014
at first I thought it was going to be a film depicting philosophical insight into life and death but it didn't really play out like that for me, it seemed more an observation on the subject, and perhaps the inter connected nature of rural life (and death).almost documentary like in it's approach,a study perhaps. it was quite poetic at times, mesmerising was a good word used to describe it. if you've had a stressed out day and you want a film to wind down with, this is the one. the cinematography is beautiful. its a wonderful spiritual study on life and death. something to note is the lack of dialogue. its very sparse in this regards, this is by no means a bad thing,in my opinion it is most certainly a good thing and lends to that mesmerising quality. I thought I should mention this in my review though, as many peoples expectations of films are that they are to include a verbal narrative or some dialogue between cast members.
