Like Blood of a Poet, this movie is surrealist cinema, using a unique achievement of the movie system, the reversal of time.
Movies can remove us, and then return us refreshed to our reality.
Here the cast members recorded their dialogue, learned to speak it from listening to it played back in reverse, and then actually spoke what they learned for the movie. It looks and sounds great, and what a great script!
I think Kierkegaard said it best when he wrote...life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards.
There's a state of being for the two characters, rudderless from the loss of their parents? showing how they spend their days. They live in an eternity, interrupted abruptly, to thereafter never be the same.
(Comment on running movies backwards: My dream is to do a full length feature film with the last 10 minutes played out this way, ie. backwards... we reverse time upon the casting of the switching spell (suicide). It all takes place in an Octagon house in various stages of decay, and it's called "Witchfinders.")
