This was an odd one. A mixture of some of the most serenely beautiful cinematography one can imagine, and high quality acting, in a weird story with occasional moments of cruel savagery. At the end, I wasn't sure what the film was supposed to mean, beyond possibly some comment about the nature of beauty and cruelty. I enjoyed the images, and the general turn of events, and although some may find the treatment of animals in the film disturbing I found that it contributed in artistically if not literally meaningful way to the film. Besides, the fish that are harmed are eaten, so the scenes are rarely gratuitous seeming. There's people violence in the movie too, in fact there are some arrestingly gruesome moments scattered in the film, and there's certainly a good deal of menace and dark intrigue. Ultimately though, the film just didn't seem quite engaging or meaningful enough to me. I could certainly have done with more dialogue and more compelling characters, this would have helped me understand more of what the film was trying to say. But unfortunately I ended up enjoying this one on mostly a visual level, without the drama actually touching me too much.
