" ... it seems like watching a portrait of timeless death and loneliness ... " -- this is from a comment of mine on this film on another webpage. At the start the whole approach is too scattered and seemingly without a focus. But that documentary-fiction kind of take of the film had a pull all through. After some twenty+ minutes it gradually became intense -- and finally all the pieces got together to create a very sad and lonely film about a dying village and the old people of the village going on living repetitively their celebrations that were more sad than sadness -- the repeating motifs of old age, sex, drug and everything portrayed only one thing -- that is loneliness. And what a take it was, so distant, dis-attached and aloof, yet intensely observant. It never romanticized, only depicted. That made it more ruthless. The violation of the woman -- alone and naked in the middle of nowhere, never spent a single second more than needed. And long shot became so very powerful all through. Very nice and touching film, I would say.
