I loved how I was swept into the sensual experience, how this felt like a suspenseful mystery unfolding. It heightened my sensitivity and attention as a viewer, an awesome feat for such an elegantly simple film. The cinematography, sound design, and gradual revelations of the editing all converged to intrigue me and hold my interest.
I feel like the education offered by this film is comparable, if not transcendent to, documentary filmmaking that is more didactic or pedantic. We didn't need narration, back story, statistics, location, character names, or even dialogue. In this film, we learn largely by observing carefully and by drawing our own conclusions. Bravo!
