Featured reviews
Even though this movie didn't make any sense it was a decent watch because of the visuals and acting.
Not bad, not memorable either. "Art nuveao" cinematography, form over substance. Like a splash of paint on a canvas that's supposed to mean whatever the viewer wants. Well acted and directed at times, clumsy at other. A better soundtrack would have helped such a project, but worth a watch.
Its pretty confusing and jumps about a bit, but here is what I think its about.
Its an arthouse lesson on the uselessness & meaninglessness of modern Western life, as compared with a more spiritual existence lived(or suposedly) by the original inhabitants of America, with a bit of gratuitous arty opulance thrown in.
Does it hit any of its marks - NO
Is it worth a watch? put it on if you are doing something else and want background visuals.
Music - 2/10
Camera work - 5/10
Acting - 4/10
In keeping it as short and as I can, I would say this is a film that juxtapositions with mathematical synchronicity held magnificently together by all actors and staff involved. The film is a masterpiece that expresses exactly what it wants you to understand and exactly what it wants to show you. Great performances all around, and a selfless production throughout...
I was utterly engaged by every second of it as well.
Most people seem to overthink this; the first 3 minutes tells you exactly what is happening- a grieving man goes into the desert to write.
Think Terry Gilliam.
There you go.
Not for everyone.
Next time, I'll scare up some gummies and a glass of wine. Of course I'll watch it again.
