Superb reviews here of a magnificent film.
One complaint.
Too often the music kills the moment.
When no-one is speaking, and also when someone is speaking, the scene would be more intense without musical sounds that intrude.
Many years ago, in the 1940s I believe, H.L.Mencken wrote strongly of his irritation when musical sounds were introduced into films for dramatic effect.
This is a film largely about the spoken word and human frailties, in brilliantly simple black-ands-white settings that are intimate whether in a field, a forest or a cabin.
Of course it's merely personal opinion, but to me the music here merely clutters a classic.
