Amazingly shot, with the film always demonstrating a tremendous, disciplined use of imageto convey mood and story. The film is full of long takes using striking symmetry, the cameraalways finding frames within frames.For me, the story itself is interesting intellectually, but lacks emotional power; traveling to afilm festival, a young femme filmmaker has a series of sadly empty encounters with people,leading to long, well-written monologues by the various lost souls. Sometimes too on thenose and speechy with its ideas, but always intelligent, physically beautiful film-making.
