This is a portrait of Native American Vietnam veteran, Al Moon, who decides to travel across country to reconnect with the men he served with.
Feeling more like a narrative, this is one of the most beautiful films you’ll see all year. No documentary, other than a nature documentary, should look this good. It’s so good looking that you will think the film is a narrative. You will want to see this on the big screen.
One part documentary and one part essay, the film mixes Moon’s trip with his mediations on life. The result is a very low key film that is kind of hypnotic. One drifts off on the images and the ideas.
To be honest as good and as beautiful the film is I don’t know if I like it. The film is so incredibly low key, with so many hazy and shadowy images that I kind of drifted off. Yes I was enjoying the conversations when they happened but the film is so dream like it brought me close to sleep.
Yes this film should be seen for the images, but at the same time you may drift off to sleep before you see them all.
