My impressions are not so different from yours. It IS exceedingly poetic, in each frame. I had the disadvantage of watching it on cable, so I missed the very beginning, but I got immediately drawn into it as I turned it on, without knowing what I was watching. One could say it is simply a parade of images, but that is not so, as people do play important roles in the film. But they also play a very natural role, almost like just support actors to the main one called MOOD.
