I was attracted to this movie, for Viggo Mortensen is a great actor,and I liked most of his movies. Also, some reviews were positive, and I thought why not give it a chance. Some critics claimed this is (also) western (''western''? although I did not see any real connection to western genre! To me, it is a mixture of genres, but above all, it is fantasy. Fantasy, probably, hidden into everything else other IMDB users and ''real'' critics described this movie. Yet, it is not really nor western, nor fantasy, nor drama. In some way, it is similar to ''Gerry'' (if I remember the title well) There's not really any plot in this movie. What is plot, is, perhaps, runaway daughter, but we dont see how she ends up and what really happened to her. Best guess, is, perhaps, the old idea, too many times used, about ''double universe'' and perhaps, some sort of ''time-travel''?? Yet, we dont really see any of that, it is just our wild guess. On the other side, costumes are very well done, alas, in vain, because costumes only can not contribute enough to save this movie. Movie-consumers, or DVD buyers, in general, will expect more. Viggo Mortensen is good actor, but what he can do here, with weak plot (almost non-exixtent) Strange format of 35 mm camera looks odd, but nice and movie is techincally very well done, with beautiful landscapes, but that is not enough. All on levels, I am not happy with this movie, it is too slow, there''s hardly any story, and we dont what happened to the main protagonists and everything is left opened and unfinished, which is quite disappointing.
