Yucky. Hardly a film. A collection of stills (some really interesting and others of an opera performance), dancing, laughing, and expressive voice-overs. Like a kids storybook tale on “Reading Rainbow” at times. Interesting use of music and the heartbeat (which creates suspense somehow). A bit long.

The struggle to understand the woman with the accent creates an interesting tension. It’s the only constant we’re provided with, so we try that much harder to understand it in the hopes that it will tie the whole film together.
