“I find it hard to comment on an art film, simply because art films provide more than just statements. They pose questions, questions unanswered, questions rhetorical, questionable statements.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHell opens with a beautifully made sequence of a bird and her 3 eggs in a nest, through a kaleidoscope vision. One of the eggs was exchanged by another bird, and its chick u0026quot;killedu0026quot; the other two eggs. Personally, I think itu0026#39;s probably the best opening sequence Iu0026#39;ve ever seen. Itu0026#39;s both beautiful, and yet very disturbing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLike the opening, the movie is also beautiful and disturbing. The stories between the three sisters plays powerfully, pushing you towards the revelation given by the u0026#39;boyu0026#39; who shamed their father. From then onwards itu0026#39;s straight forward. But before that, the characters seem to be so unrelated to each other and each story seems to play just because. Well, theyu0026#39;re not what you expected them to be.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI didnu0026#39;t find it to be very emotional. It is gut-wrenching, but at the same time very rational. On the other hand, its rationality does not (logically?) lead into cliché or any expected outcome. There is a great number of subtlety that you might miss, so better keep your mind alerted while watching it.”
