mourning without words
9 September 2008
this is hard to get movie if you have not experienced the death of a close friend or family member. it is entirely visual but reflective of mood - the deep void that one retreats to when a lost happens.

when watching a film, the mood of the auther and audience must match to some degree for connection to happen. and for this film, you must be at least 80% close or you will be bored, lost or disinterested.

each scene provide space for you to think, feel, reminisced - not necessary what is happening in the story - maybe in "your" own story. there is a little bit of dialogue in the end to summarize everything.

a masterpiece with great cinematography that reflects on one singular emotion -mourning.
