Life is like meditation or post-modern blues. The director manages to immerse the advanced viewer in a meditative Zen visual journey, the purpose of which is the very movement along the river of life, which has neither beginning nor end.
From one close-up to another, the camera leisurely and detachedly observes what is happening in the life of the main character and other characters, this slow rhythm is broken from time to time by flashbacks, then there is an expected return to meditation and so on to the most ambiguous finale, which is not the end at all, but only the beginning, or rather the continuation of being in the leisurely flow of life.
The vast majority of viewers of this film will leave the hall or fall asleep by the 15th minute, the few remaining, those who will manage to adjust to the rhythm (or rather, to immerse themselves in meditation) will be rewarded by introducing a real postmodern film masterpiece and may feel the desire to turn their eyes towards the East.
More. Surprising in the title role Paulina Porizkova, it is rare to observe such an organic stay in the frame, she not only became the most important part of the picture, but also gave this picture and the film as a whole an invaluable treasure of her charisma, gave the power of her female archetype. It is her energy that fills everything, immerses in herself, tames and envelops. There is an alchemical transformation and this is real magic, clearly expressed by the means of cinema.
Music. She fits perfectly. It has value in itself.
