Negative Positive
Title: visually aesthetic
Review: i just finished watching this movie, and after it ended there was a period of about 10 minutes when i was trying to decide what the heck just happened. i went into the film cold, so i had no idea what to expect. throughout it i thought i caught several subtle allusions to camus and kafka, but that might just be me. after collecting my thoughts, i will say the primary value of the film is the photography. the location is beautiful, and the cinematography was so adept i felt like i was in that village waiting along side the frustrated protagonist. that being said, the plot is full of needlessly obscure and mysterious deviations. simplify, man. but if you pay attention and don't get bogged down by the contrived complexities, the message is loud and clear. it is a long and subtle film that will scare away those movie-goers with the attention span of a manic goldfish, thank you hollywood, but for me, the visual aesthetics made it worth the while.
