It is not only an instant classic but a "new" way of creating a film, creating a dreamworld by erasing or deconstructing the lines between fiction, documentary and... reality.
Not much happens and we don't get much explanation... but through some magical reaction between cinematography (more akin to still photography), film score, intelligent and restrained acting, and careful onobtrusive direction... we become part of this story, carried along the narrative stream... involuntarily.
Is anything "simpler" than sushi, yet more satisfying when properly presented?
This film is a feast.
Those that enjoyed it immediately must continue on to "After Life."
