CGiii Comment
Lucile Hadzihalilovic - the director with the unpronounceable name, told the audience to expect a journey...rather than a story.
A cinematic beauty slowly unfolds. The framing, the imagery...all exquisite...
An incomprehensible journey and a journey that should not be missed. It is a visual marvel.
At the Q&A afterwards, the director with the unpronounceable name explained that the film was autobiographical.
It was about a young boy...somewhat bemusing, defiantly flummoxing...and, perplexing, in a good way.
Still...it has a chilling beauty...and, most definitely, one to discuss over a stiff drink.
Was that a lesbian orgy? In the mud?

The(ir) Blurb...
