| Don't get your hopes up he's only in it for about 90 seconds if that |
I am kind of puzzled about how to explain this film. The problem is the construction of the film is so deliberate that trying to explain I run the risk of wrecking the film. However in order to give you something to go on I will say that the film concerns a detective trying to sort out the case of a man who ends up washed up on a dune. There is way more to it than that with lots of ideas and themes running through the film but that should get you started.
This is a very moody, brooding film that looks great, is wonderfully acted and if you're very patient is a very nice little film. This is not a big and booming film, rather it is quiet and reflective. Its a film were silences and looks say a great deal and any words are used sparingly and economically for maximum effect. If you don't like that sort of thing stay away.
Because the film is so deliberately structured I find it hard to discuss the film.
I will say I like the film. I will also say that it took me a while to click with it. I think the best description for the film is that it's a short story instead of a novel. There aren't grand thematic sweeps but small issues being addressed.
I like it but when it was done I was ready for something meatier.
Worth a look when the film plays January 15th. For details and tickets you can go to the film's festival page here.
