A film that shocks, and ends up being predictable.
With a slightly lost plot, you need to be careful to notice that the timeline changes, since there is nothing in the image, scenery or even characterisation, that time changes... everything seems to be on the same timeline.
Álbano Jerónimo does an incredible job, praising all his talent and regretting the rest of the film, which is consumed by a good amount of purposeless silent moments, very typical of Portuguese films, apparently - it doesn't seem like an appealing thing to me, at least less for me - since if these moments were canceled the film would probably only be an hour long or even less.
I didn't like Nuno Lopes' performance in these films, it fell far short of what he's really capable of doing, and all the intrigue and drama ends up being a little predictable. At a certain point I already said what was going to happen, before it happened.
The photography leaves something to be desired and there are some moments in the film where the shadows of the wind turbine blades are poorly created in the image and the shadow is turned in the opposite direction, with a completely disproportionate size.
There are also a few seconds of image, almost at the end of the film, which I think would have been due to a lack of images, which feature a photograph of the village scene, where you can clearly see that it is a static image with nature sounds in the background.
The post-production is a bit amateurish - but that's it, you can always claim that it's style and concept... even so, it didn't inspire me anything positive.
In my opinion, it should have been well thought out, and there should have been more material filmed, as the repetition of footage and 'blank' and still moments is torturous.
