I'm really not sure what to say about this film. I was completely drawn in by the landscapes. Initially the seemingly random events evoked my curiousity, but as the film went on I started to disengage, maybe because of the lack of any narrative. The film seemed long and I was relieved when it ended.

I was expecting it to be harrowing, I'd read about the violence. But it was quite funny in parts. Actually there wasn't any actual violence, and even the obvious inhumanity and cruelty had a kind of distance to it, almost a caricature.

I didn't come away with a sense of any profound message. And I'm not sure if I liked it or not. There were things, the incredible macro photography of the ants. The soundscape - the entire sound track seems to be the sound of the main characters footsteps. Other sounds - washing gurgling in creeks, metal on metal, the strange sounds that passed for language, all in a kind of aural close-up.

Anyway, go see it. Its certainly a journey.
