Flow of Sound

Rating: 6/10 (19 February 2020)

It is a straightforward story with only one subject. Audience is equally in the dark alongside the subject with what's going to happen next. That's the idea of direction which is a great work. A simple story presented in a mysterious manner. That said, the continuous camera sequence is a great deal of editing but it's missing the continuous flow of sound, background sound so to say, which is equally important.
It is 1917, not 2017 where trucks can be electric and soundless. Those are army trucks from WWI. When a subject is grieving on his mate and suddenly there are two other army personnel appear in the scene out of nowhere, and the next thing you see is a line of army trucks loaded with army personnel, question is, when they were getting closer to that location where the subject was, where is the sound of those trucks appearing closer and more so, of all those personnel?!
Also, continuous camera flow is not required everywhere. To me, it's basically waste of some seconds, for example, where camera also moves into the truck along with the subject. Nonetheless, it is indeed a great camera editing especially all the water scenes including the small pond with dead bodies as well as waterfall scene with the river, overall a beautiful cinematography.
Quite gripping to watch this film except that it could have been much better with the flow of missing important background sound.
