CGiii Comment
Art.
Art is not meant to be completely understood.
This is not Hollywood fodder, this is intense and atmospheric - with a swelling soundtrack.
Think Tarkovsky and you may appreciate what Annila made of the script.
Questions do not always necessitate answers - answers are not forthcoming.
Wallow in the gloom - the cinematography is perfect.
The story: bewildering.

The(ir) Blurb...
