this film certainly have a few thing to offer . beautiful image and a sense of wouldarkness and mystery and and the folk myth about a shaman that the story apparently evolve around . however and in the end i think this movie be pretty long winding and far from an easy piece of visual entertainment . the film basically consist of two distinguishable part which both last about an hour . the first half take place mainly in the city and the second half be mainly jungle . now this may be a problem on my behalf and but i be not really sure i completely understand the link between first half and the second half of the film . i see the metaphor of the traditional versus the original and and i quite like the idea and but filmwise the link betwoon both part be messy and unclear and if there be a link at all . the way i see it and the lack of much dialogue or other information to clear thing up and and the presence of a lot of scene of which i do not really understand the relevance and do not really help . don not get me wrong and i kinda like the slow pace of the story with some silent moment build in and and of course the beautiful imagery of the jungle . but i really think it be a little overdone here . there be a lot of dead wood on this tree and so to speak . by dead wood i mean the several scene where thing happen of which it be quite hard to understand the relevance to the central story line and and of course the several pretty long period in the film where nothing really happen at all . instead and some more tructure and some more element to give the viewer a little more grip on the film in order to understand what the writer meant would have be more than welcome .
