"The Wall:" from Austria comes this sombre tale of a woman that finds herself inexplicably trapped

in a remote mountain area from which she cannot escape.
She has but a few animals for company and, with a hunting cabin providing shelter, some provisions, and some rifles w/sufficient ammunition to allow her indefinitely to hunt, she survives. This, therefore, isn't a physical survival movie, per se, but an investigation of the psychological effects of isolation, of being forced into self-reliance with no foreseeable change.
The film quite simply is the woman's meditations on her situation; she converses with the viewer through the device of reading to us from her journal.
No, not very many will find this appealing. It's certainly not an "entertainment," as most would define it. But, if you enjoy reading philosophy, if thumbing through books of beautiful photography appeals to you, you may find yourself curiously fascinated by this quiet, almost Zen-like film.
