Good music, great cinematography, wonderful scenery - but sorry, just no story!
The film intentionally jumps between a wide range of different scenes and shots at a generally rapid pace, rather like a slide show, and ends up loosing the plot. The viewer is left with far too many puzzles to unravel, and too many questions unanswered. The acting is only mediocre. As a result it is just not possible to identify with or get involved in the film, and in spite of the beautiful filming it never really gets going in terms of human interest!
Unusual (and good) filming features include quite a few speeded up shots e.g. clouds. The sound is excellent too, with a clever scene in the park where two conversations are heard simultaneously - just as you might in real life, with the camera panning back and forth between the different groups. Another scene in the motel includes good background sound from the next room etc. But it still doesn't save the film!
