Haunting, beautiful, poetic, and all kinds of other great adjectives, but it was too experimental for me to get entirely involved.

An amazing silent, in which a man and two women are adrift at sea. This is the only film by Mario Peixoto, which is a damn shame because his work has a haunting poetry that immediately sucked me in and wouldn't let go. He crafts shots that feel so intuitive that they seem like the film stock itself suggested them. I know that's a loopy and vague comment to make, but something about the way this movie was put together just sang to me... this thick air of melancholy and reverie and desperation.

Slightly long for what it is but the images are very beautiful, serene with a touch of melancholy.
