Quirky movie meant to be felt and not over intellectualized. It's the kind of movie that people who don't get foreign movies will point to as an example of why they can seem unwatchable. It's a barbell movie, you either get it and like it or you find it a waste of time. To me its about human life, its absurdities, its loneliness; about our need to connect with others and the mysterious ways it can happen, sometimes by just being present; about our need to be loved and how kooky and idiosyncratic that love can appear to others; about living in the present, the joy in just taking in the spectacle and wonder of life; about finding pleasure in the simple things: a simple picnic on a beautiful day in the countryside, an impromptu swim in a river, an afternoon nap under the warm sun, everyday human connections with strangers, etc. Its a bowl of chicken soup for these days of living under Covid.
EXCELLENT soundtrack which for me is always key in helping me connect with a movie. One of the directors is a composer and the music is integral to the experience.
