a review of

Visually stunnning and emotionally overwhelming, this slow cinema meditation on a coastal community being left quite literally paralyzed by grief, frozen in time after a tragic event. Because of both the subject matter and its contemplative pace, i can't help but feel reminded of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Cemetary of Splendour (2015) but there's also a whole underbelly of lynchian supernatural mythology going on here and the overall atmosphere at times calls to mind the deserted dying worlds of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Pulse (2001). A rewarding, immersive experience for patient viewers.
