Watched in cinema with director q and a. I appreciate the effort and experimentation going on here but after learning soon afterwards during the q and a that the director is mostly a visual artist working on art installations I understand why the film mostly failed at actually telling a story cohensively. The film looks fascinating and interesting, the story is actually quite gripping but it's the overall safe and empty execution with shots that cut or is placed with no reason or meaning and prolonged sequences that belongs more in a art installation then on a film and the film's 51 minute runtime feels quite bloated and by the end disappointing and underwhelming. Theres nothing here emotionally that captures me and I feel by the end nothing happens in the film, it's very shallow sadly.
