Truly haunting and gorgeous cinema

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2010)

Very slow paced which is perfectly suited to its mood and story. Intensely involving with tremendous cinematography. One of the very best films. A true work of art obviously born of passion. I admire the courage and determination of the film-makers to persevere with such a project that obviously defies box-office formulas and would have difficulty making a profit. Looking forward to more by this director. It must be extremely challenging to put in the energy required to push a project such as this one through the many hurdles imposed by the movie industry but I certainly hope that great film-makers continue following this example. Highly recommended to anyone with the patience and interest in experiencing original and challenging (not in ideas for in form) cinema.
