Thought I should rewatch seeing I've had it on dvd for a while now. I really do love the entire cold look and feel of this film. It really encapsulates the mood of the film, of how God has abandoned us, and the ultimate realisation that he may not have been there at all; it's just so, so cold. "What difference would it make". First review here if you want a more detailed version.
