In Reply to: Certainly not: the river scenes show the influence of Jean Vigo´s "L'Atalante", but only to add more eeriness posted by orejones on April 28, 2009 at 11:03:02:
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.
