C. Matthew Hawkins

This film is more of a cinematic meditation of images than it is a conventional story, but its details and the sudden twists that become life and death circumstances are powerful enough to move even the most jaded and desensitized viewers. An underlying message in the film is that one's humanity transcends one's social status and identity. After two hours of enjoying the superb direction and cinematography, you will develop something akin to having a photographer's eye that enables you to appreciate details of the world around you and the director teaches you to "see" in new and surprising ways.
