AMAZING film. The B&W cinematography alone makes the film worth seeing, but the bleak yet beautiful depiction of a life and terrain few people ever lay eyes on just sweeten the pot. And the story, with its sparse dialog and intense narrative, provides a very compelling background to the magnificent shots that one after another steal the show. And the acting, down to the smallest roles, was spot on perfect. Amazing. Simply amazing. It was the best film I saw at Hawaii Intl. Film Festival 2007 (and I watched a lot), and easily one of the most beautiful films I've seen in recent years. The film compelled me enough to write my first review of any film on any site ever. Yes, it's really that good!
