Great atmospheric vibe. The score is hypnotic. The story is mysterious. The ending gets under your skin; not sure what to make of it, but that's okay. I went along for the ride, like a hitchhiker in a foreign land, and absorbed it all. If you don't constantly question it, the film's eerieness is worth the trip.
If you like atmosphere, mystery, and character driven story you’ll love this. All the people giving it low ratings probably drink too much Maointain Dee
A beautifully shot movie hampered by a story that goes nowhere fast, and is filled with mixed metaphors for homosexuality that seem divorced from the actual story.
beautifully shot. great acting. but movie is very slow.
Spectacular ....
