I Am Dina (2002)
6/10
Great Cinematography but the Sound Engineer should be Imprisoned.

It was in English but I still wanted subtitles. What were those lines that were mumbled under very loud music. This left many unanswered questions but the wild intensity of both the child and adult Dina character kept it interesting and watchable.

The opening scene was amazing. Subsequent scenes were beautifully cinematic but some of the logistics of the story really didn't make a lot o sense. Why would you need to boil lye on a swimming pool scale? Maybe that's the way they did it in 1860 but they could try to explain it a little better. Why was the wife of the rich man working with the peasant workers?

The violence was brutal and may stay with you so be forewarned. Several other oddities occurred but I guess you can always fall back on mental illness from a traumatized childhood. The whole spy subplot made no sense but then again maybe I missed important dialog because of the incomprehensible soundtrack.
