If you love foreign, atmospheric and mezmerizing horror please do yourself a favor and give this a watch. I love a film that's open to interpretation, which this definitely is. This deserves multiple watches and delivers on so many levels.
Please can this move become done in English
Not the most interesting, but not quite the most boring movie. More of a really slow love story with hints of suspense and a dab of spiritualism (I guess). There's slow burns and then there's dragging things out until you're too exhausted to fully pay attention. This became background noise with pretty nature shots as opposed to a full fledged story.
Good movie, the hitch hiker🤫
At some point in the past I read or heard about a philosophy that good art is exhausting. That its not something simply digested or even pondered but something to absorb and recover from. This is that. An incredible, haunting splayed fingers slow burn about relationships. Evocative of Don't Look Now, it's terrifing and difficult. Just... wow.
