This film is not going to go down well with the "I don't like slow films" crowd. Similarly, there is no music soundtrack, little dialogue, and many scenes are deliberately extended while "nothing much" goes on.
However, gradually a picture emerges of what might be happening, as the strange drifter affects the small community in various ways, and intervenes in an often-brutal manner.
Most striking for me was the combination of cinematography and sound design, where many of the scenes played out in long shot against the impressive landscape, while (for example) even the footsteps on the sand came through clearly. Maybe that's why it felt so involving?
