When the film started I got the feeling this was going to be something special. The acting and camera work were undoubtedly good. I also liked the characters and could have grown to empathise with them. The film had a good atmosphere and there was a hint of fantasy.However, as the film went on, the plot never appeared to takeoff and just rolled on scene by scene. I was unable to understand the connection between the stories. All I could see was the characters occasionally bumping into each other and references to ships in bottles. Without that connection, I was just left with a few unremarkable short stories.Am surprised it did so well at Cannes
Quando o filme começou, tive a sensação de que isso seria algo especial. A atuação e o trabalho de câmera eram indubitavelmente bons. Eu também gostei dos personagens e poderia ter crescido para ter empatia com eles. O filme teve uma boa atmosfera e havia uma pitada de fantasia. No entanto, como o filme continuou, o enredo nunca pareceu decolar e apenas rolou cena por cena. Não consegui entender a conexão entre as histórias. Tudo o que eu podia ver eram os personagens ocasionalmente esbarrando uns nos outros e referências a naves em garrafas. Sem essa conexão, acabei ficando com alguns contos sem graça. Estou surpreso que tenha ido tão bem em Cannes.
