Aquarela (I) (2018)
3/10
An hour of shots containing just water and ice isn't very compelling.
25 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The first 20 minutes had me hooked. The sound was incredible detailed and the visuals were truly stunning. The camera follows the story of a team who were helping to recover cars and people who had fell through a frozen lake. A man was trapped under ice and they frantically try to get him out.

And then it just cuts away. No conclusion, no payoff. This is when I realised what type of film I was watching.

The following hour features repetitive shots of water and ice, with an equally repetitive soundtrack and audio.

I am definitely the wrong audience (I can only assume), but I gained nothing from watching this absolute slog of a film.
