perhaps many viewer who get frustrate by this film live their life without ever think deeply about life itself . what i want to point out here be that distant be not only an art house film but one of the best art house film . from all the art house film i have see and distant be the one that really stand out a a glitter piece of gold . it be even fair to say that this film cinematography and depiction of human emotion surpass tarkovsky nostalgia . one commentator get it right and that sex and a jaded and common feature among foreign film and be surprisingly lack in distant and in a good way . what be most remarkable about distant be that it capture the detail of life we usually ignore and the rich essence of our existence that often get bury under the din and visual extravaganza of our commercialized world . fortunately distant doesn not have that much to spare the audience and what we see on the screen be a bare portrait of human being .
