Worth watching for the beautiful photgraphy alone
I watched this film in the cinema and lots of people walked out before the end. However, it really is worth watching it until the end, (which may or may not be what you would expect!). If you've got the patience, this is a film which makes you think. The sunrise at the beginning is just beautiful, and there is good use of synbols throughout. The slow pace may be frustrating for some, so you do need to be in the right mood for it. The story is universal. I felt relaxed and peaceful after watching it.
