A slow duel character study that is fascinating to watch for the first time. I love the use of colors, movement/sound in this & how the violence in this is not glorified and is only showed from an objective point of view; It's genius really because there's a lot of subjective interpretations of this film. I also just love the acting and characters in this, it feels elevated and real all at the same time. I am sure I missed a lot of stuff in this and I will absolutely have to watch this again!
11/25/25 (Revisit) A slow duel character study that is fascinating to watch, this film thrives on restraint and precision. The use of colors, movement, and sound is masterful; each element layered to heighten mood without ever overwhelming. Violence here is never glorified; instead, it’s presented with an objective clarity that invites subjective interpretation, making the experience feel both cerebral and visceral. The acting and characters elevate the material, grounding it in realism while maintaining a poetic edge.
On a second viewing, the pacing reveals itself as deliberate and fluid, the flow of scenes carrying a quiet rhythm that feels inevitable yet surprising. What once seemed slow now feels perfectly measured, each beat essential. And for the ending; haunting, unresolved, echoing long after—strikes with the same force as the first time, a reminder of the film’s ability to linger in thought and emotion. It’s a work that demands revisiting, rewarding patience with depth.

Intressant visuellt och har lite roliga teman men dramaturgiskt tråkig

This film is about the cracks that form societies walls. There is no boogeyman under the bed, no monster in the closet; it's all around them, us, me, and you. The water just und...
