I rented this cause somebody on here kept subtly writing this movie's title in all caps whenever there was a best movies of the past ___ years post.
I wanted to say thanks. This is why I come here.
You guys have already described the things that make this movie great. I shouldn't have peeked at the imdb boards, it took away from the impact of the end of that mob sequence. Despite the movie's pessimistic tone, that was one of the moments of optimism (even those marauders are still human after all, we do have limits to our depravity, etc). That, and the whale still standing after all the carnage.
Since some of you have seen Tarr's other work, does this movie strike you as being political/historical in theme or is it more about humanity and nature (or both)?
