This was a great disappointment. The actors are obviously very capable, and this is clear from their delivery. The cinematography does make for some stunning and beautiful images. But despite this the completed film is a failure. Much of this is due to the script: this is terrible. The conversations are stilted and unreal. This is in keeping with the story line which is contrived and forced. The end result is a feeling that everything is artificial and, I hate to say it, pretentious. All the standard artistic stereotypes are here which, alas, is the coup de gras as it removes the film from its only real positive the beautiful and interesting community where it is set.
