“The imagery and the music are fantastic. The story line and the slow moving pace are done well. The acting is good. However, the biggest shortcoming of this film is the lack of any kind of camera movement, none. This was the single biggest mistake of this film. Some camera movement would have imbued the movie with emotional energy and would have made the beautiful shots come to life. At times I felt as if I was looking at landscape photography or animated stills. I sort of guess the idea but it doesnu0026#39;t work. Everything is frozen but the camera does not need to be.”
