Gorgeous cinematography but it bored me to tears with it's incredibly slow pace and lack of anything happening at all really throughout it's 104 minutes run time.

for all it's worthyness there are quite startling flaws such as how does a cassette recorder found in the mountains from years previous actually still work especially as the community has no electricity. I guess somewhere in the woods there must be a shop selling tape recorder batteries just in case someone were to find one buried in the dirt.

Likened to Jodorowsky so if you enjoy his work then this may be up your street.
Glad to see someone else found this slow pacing.
