Beautiful and haunting; definitely a vibe. This is really more of a reflective piece than anything. Then, search for info on "spomenik." It'll be worth your time!
This is not a movie. Its a 20 minute short story audiobook with agonizingly slow panning shots of nothing special in black and white set to the slowest music ever.
The only way that I could get into this sort of thing is to be 100% fully submerged in the vibe... sitting in a dark theatre at a Saturday matinee with a small handful of strangers that also had nothing better to do that day.
Total dollar amount to make this movie...$500.00 and that was absolutely a total waste of money!!
Splendid, brilliant, haunting.
