🟢SYNOPSIS — Weary residents of a war-ravaged country drift through life.

🟢REVIEW — Filmmaker jayasundara is obviously influenced by is tsai ming liang (Taiwan). like liang, jayasundara’s characters are alienated from everything human. lonely, disconnected and indifferent to their own tragedy, they inhabit a world devoid of intimacy. but jayasundara goes beyond the mysteriously fascinating imagery of liang to create a more engaging and almost hypnotic film.

Don’t expect to find a cohesive plot, but just sit back and let the camera-work wash over your senses. Long, beautiful, meditative, Tarkovsky-like takes that leave you marveling at their artistry. Not long into the movie, I gave up trying to understand the plot, and instead just allowed myself to be swept along in its tide of visual beauty.
