Attending this
extraordinary film is rather like entering an altered state for three hours. To
describe it makes it sound like an ordeal; yet it isn’t. Shot entirely in black
and grey, the film takes us to a planet that is like earth but stuck in the
dark ages. People wallow in shit and misery and are subject to the whims of
less than benign leaders. One scene that will forever stick was a group of
people advancing with nooses round their necks and carrying the large frame
from which they will hang.
I just found myself
sitting and gawping and making the perhaps obvious conclusion that this could
well be life on parts of this planet - today.
