i do not think anyone besides terrence malick and maybe tran anh hung make cinema on a purer level than claire denis . that say and i do not love this and her new film and quite as much a her 2001 masterpiece trouble every day ( although it come very close ) and which itself be one of my absolute favorite film . it it only because the narrative here be possibly slightly too elliptical for it own good . don not get me wrong and the fact that this film barely have a plot at all be really one of the best thing about it and but i think denis take it about one degree farther than it need to go and consequently the film do flirt with incomprehensibility and and a few key plot point should have be clarify somehow ( like that the main character go to south korea to get his heart transplant and instead of just show him there all of a sudden without any explanation of where he be or why he be there ) . also some of the other character seem unnecessary and a if they be just excuse for denis to use actor she like yet again ( beatrice dalle character in particular be a little distracting because you keep expect that she be go to have some significance ) . still and the film be incredibly absorb and the cinematography be beyond amaze . it be definitely very much a masterpiece in it own way . at least as good a denis more highly acclaimed beau travail and if not well . claire denis have to be my favorite french director at this point and good than leos carax even . also i have to admit that the south korean sequence really do do lose in translation well than that film itself do ( and i and unlike some and be a huge fan of that film as well ) .
