A brilliant film that helped define a genre
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
I've just seen this film at Buenos Aires Festival International de Cine Independiente (BAFICI). I liked the image and part of the music/sounds. But this film lacks a plot, an underlying story that could lead you through the film. When you watch this film you see a bunch of scenes with wonderful images and a really good idea behind. But then, this looks like a sequence of unrelated images and sounds. The database says it's a story about the lost town of Koza. Well, I could never have guessed that. There seems to be something if you join the scenes of the boy. But even doing that, I couldn't tell what's going on there. And the other images constantly interrupting don't help.
