... was the vote result by a international critic circle.
While I do not agree with that (my personal favorite is 'Inside Out'), I have to admit that this film has greatness in it. It is a bold unique exercise in style. In a way this film is like Siddartha sitting under the tree. You will see beautiful scenery, forces of nature struggling with each other, but most of the time it's just plain boring, until at last: you gain enlightenment. No joking, the ending has really such a great impact. It is about keeping one's integrity: even if life is a river that only flows into one direction, you can still chose to row into the other.
The scenery is beautiful, but if you live near the country, like I do, you will be wondering why the heck you keep staring at a bunch of sheep, or whether the cameraman just fell asleep. My advice: either watch it in the cinema, or with headphones.
