Certainly not: the river scenes show the influence of Jean Vigo�s "L'Atalante", but only to add more eeriness

...to a wonderfully poetic film. One of the great ones, indeed.

It�s a pity you didn�t enjoy it...

Its the stilted "expressionistic" acting that bothers me the most... - Abel McCain 17:06:40 04/28/09 (0)
The imagery can indeed be very poetic at times. It's just that I wish that the icons would cool it on the caricature acting. And it is as if everything and everyone in the film were an icon of some sort - looking and acting like cardboard cutouts for all the church to see. I know the film is not supposed to look or sound "naturalistic", but I do feel that the whole expressionistic thing has been overdone just a bit. Just a bit.
