Long languid shots...constant chitting of insects you can feel the heat. Visually interesting, but not beautiful. A bit like watching Shakdspeare in17th century English and having to let it wash over you while you pick up bits and pieces. Of course Shaksspeare has a story. This barely does. It's disjointed and the thread that ties it together is very thin. We asked someone on the way out what he thought hoping he was more knowledgeable. "It's a mystery," he said, without any sense of irony.... Yes. Mysterious.
