I finally saw it too, and I'd almost say that "The Remnant" would have been a better title

Here we have a film about some bunches of men who are, mostly, just trying to make a living. But what remains when we feel that we must substitute "making a living" for "having a life"? Maybe, what remains is a remnant, and the root of all evil?
What surely remains in this film is "realism" (and occasionally, "magic realism") at it's best. The "actors" in this film rarely seem like *actors* to me. Rather, they seem like "props", mostly. Film props, caught within a torrent of action on film.
And while the photography is beautiful, I am reminded that even the best nature photography rarely captures the true look and feel of *nature*. Literal translation inevitably falls hard on it's knees here. In photography, as in some other things, the harder we try to "save" a thing the more miserably we fail at doing so...
And perhaps, this is all to the point. When life is lost, or when life eludes capture, all that remains is... PROPS?
Thumbs Up.
