this film be a very bad example of uninspired storytelling and which try to hide behind an artfilm facade and try to shock the audience with unmotivated violence ( against woman ) to cover up for it lack of psychological depth of the character and internal conflict . everything in this movie be pretentious and from the thank you to bela tarr at the beginning and to the photography and the acting and music and the story and editing . when suddenly and without reason and you be force to watch close ups of charismatic look hungarian country people in their boat and while the soundtrack be try to persuade you that this be suppose to be a dramatic moment and although they be only on the way to the funeral of the local alcoholic and thats one thing . put completely unmotivated rape scene a a shocker be a different thing and for which i absolutely have no comprehension . this movie be try really hard to enter a certain genre of artistic ( east european drama kind of ) film but lack the subtlety and observational skill and soul that other director have .
