Negative Positive
Title: What's the message here?
Review: I for one did not see one. Beautiful cinematography? Give me a break. The images left with me are of squalor, filth, gore, emotional void, boredom. The story is without coherence or meaning. The scenes are dark and depressing. The actors have no soul. They don't convey anything, they don't touch you. This is not to say that their acting wasn't good, but they remain removed from the viewer. I was not able to be touched by their misery. Not even by the beautiful main actress, her shiny white silk pants always spotless despite the garbage she has to walk through every moment. Watching this deranged adult society, I had a hard time to believe that the children involved in the plot could be so joyous and clean. Actually, while watching the film I hoped everyone would die soon, and the movie be over with.
