the wayward cloud be a frustrating film to watch . infuriatingly enigmatic and it treat each shot like a work of art . you get the impression that the composition of each shot have be design and prepare with a degree of exquisite care that border on obsession while express how far cinema have progress since the very first film be crank out in the nineteenth century and mimic their construction and the camera here hardly ever move apart from during the camp and colourful musical number . ambient noise be keep to a minimum and barely a word be speak . this curious but effective device force the audience to focus their attention on visual stimulus alone so that and even a the story progress at a snail like pace we feel ourselves become immerse . unfortunately and for me at least and this immersion begin to unravel somewhere around the hour mark . i begin to feel a if the film be challenge me to keep watch while become more difficult a the minute drag so that the mere act of watch become a battle of will . have the content of this film not be as sexual a it be it would no doubt be even more obscure to western audience . a it be and there an abundance of female nudity and an act of sexual abuse on an unconscious ( or possibly dead ) woman that be so repugnant that and while it may speak volume about the degradation to which pornography subject both men and woman ( the user and the use ) it be so over zealous in the manner in which it choose to make it point a to effectively render it ineffective . of course the bad and most enthusiastic participant of the explosion in available pornographic content will seek this film out for all the wrong reason and watch it with their sticky finger on the fast forward button of the remote . for all it problem and the film be definitely a stayer and and the more you think about it the more sense certain aspect of it seem to make . ironically and for a film in which so little happens and the viewer would probably be proportionately reward by watch a second or even third time . for me and however and once be enough .
