A very candid and often uncomfortable examination of traditional cultures and their survival into modernity.
This movie has a rich and distinctive rhythm, immersing itself in the natural world. Sometimes sort of funny in a messed up way, it also has a very dark core.
I especially liked the humdrum little clerk finding a new part of himself in his relationship with the mentally disabled girl. I don't know if it's an insensitive portrayal but it adds to the movie's rawness.
I've never seen a movie quite like it even if I ultimately watched it in two sittings.
