Tears of Christ
XxEthanHuntxX8 September 2021
The divinely, celestial and poetic manner of which the movie is sculptured, refering to the enigmatic and infinitely fascinating use of sound, lighting, pacing, colour, potraying and constructing images and the mysterious physical elements, makes the movie appear to be of some terrestial origin. The director wanting to present the different perception and utilization of, for example, a wine glass or a piece of cloth, moving it in all directions and from all angles, embracing it from all sides. He want to turn everything in the world upside down, tear it inside out, reverse time - create visual chaos and to some madness and see how nature manages and behaves. How the universe operates. Though, unfortunately I couldn't help but to feel the movie debouching out in tediousness and becoming boring after a while.

Conclusion: still abstract and suggestive but not much satisfaction is produced, thus, the movies surface is repeatedly the only thing that is in focus. Only uncertaintese arises no gratifications, and because of that the movie didnt work, for me at least.
