User Reviews
Very calm and very real film.One should be in a
relaxed mood when going to see this film. Be there to tranquilly cherish
the moments of life and the film will open itself and offer you all its
hidden prizes.
Someone mentioned the landscapes are bleak... The
film is isomorphic to its landscapes. Bleak and lovely at the same
time. Little bit depressing for those who choose to stay at a distance,
to look at (film or landscapes) as at exhibits. For those who step in,
it becomes precious in its touching ugliness. As you enter, ugliness is
redefined. We are able to adore and love what we thought ugly before
when we lived in the world bombarded by artificially selected beauty. We
appreciate the naturality, the simple yet awkward reality of
landscapes, of characters and of situations. The directing and actors
are both excellent and succeed to achieve this reality so difficult to
balance on screen!
There isn't more talk than necessary, more
ｅxpression of emotions or velocity of thought than a real living person
would allow - not any of the tricks directors have to use to keep us
interested. Yet the film is not boring. Because we can feel and
understand the characters on screen as fully as we can a human being
next to us! We can recognize little parts from the happening in the
memories of our own life.
Memories otherwise we'd never pay attention to.
