I was somehow in the right frame of mind to watch this – on an airplane, and in mid-break up with (from?) someone who is more inclined to live in the desert, with creatures, than nearby to me. It is a beautiful and contemplative and sometimes extreme film. not really a popcorn movie.

A tragic film that keeps the viewer at an eery distance from all the characters in the movie.
Can be read on a variety of levels, from man’s relationship to the natural world and to each other in various environments to ideas about communication and fulfillment.
A bit surreal at times, it is definitely taking the benevolency of “Mother Nature” to task.
