Excellent critique of the dehumanization of war and exploitation of power. The cinematography is phenomenal! I look forward to more films directed by John O'Shaughnessey. I loved the crisp and colorful quality of the HD, resulting in an almost Impressionistic treatment of light. The acting is superb! The story bears a classic "Twilight Zone" quality, perhaps even David Lynch influence. Great writing! The dialogue is poignant, and makes its point without excess. The story follows Angela, skillfully portrayed by Jeanne Marie Spicuzza. Her name means "heavenly messenger," and she is an "existentialist." Given these descriptions, we're told that she will, in essence, live... and tell. Very intelligent writing! I've discovered some interesting symbols, too. Even the lizard appearing in the film is indigenous to Vietnam. Brilliant and honest! I predict that this film will be studied and remembered as an important statement of our times.
