A uniquely crafted, psychological drama about people, time and eternal struggle with entropy. The film features well acted performances by most notably Ana Asensio and Morgan Taddeo, but also by the rest of this sterling lineup headlined by veteran actor Rip Torn. Creators Alexei Kaleina and Craig McNeil wrote, co-directed and edited this polished visual gem. The film, which relies as much on the plastic elements of filmmaking as the narrative content itself, moves slowly but deliberately through the mysterious interplay between a striking rural location, the characters' solitary and somewhat idiosyncratic lives, and circumstances leading up to and concluding with an effectively depicted celestial event.
The movie features, not least of all, grand cinematography by Zoe White and Alexei Kaleina. Cast and crew work in tandem to create a smoldering atmosphere of mystery and intrigue. It was a pleasure to watch this deliberately abstractly-told story unfold on various fronts, framed in the all encompassing embrace of Mother Nature.
An astute visual piece which proves, contrary to many current indicators, that the fine art of movie making is alive and well still, somewhere in New York City.
