When I began watching this title, I was almost immediately caught by the beautiful acting. What developed before my eyes was an alternative, yet gorgeously presented love story of two strangers that become familiar to each other.
Probably my favorite part of the movie are the small details, like the character's fable for photographing eyes, that mix beautifully with the artsy way of filming.
But at some point the film lost me. First the kind of bizarre death of the female main character, then the destruction of the just established love story that leads to an end that leaves me a bit unsure what to think.
While I get that spiritual things may or may not exist, the end almost seems a bit fanatic to me, especially given that I don't get how it connects to the first part of the movie. You wouldn't need this whole relationship to tell the story and it seems a bit cheap how the beginning establishes details later used for the message.
I would certainly rate this one higher if it sticked to how it began. This way I'm still unsure what the agenda of this film is. 6/10.
