Das Salz des Meeres

Cogent, well written, well acted, and well directed.

Filming was excellent. The film moved in the correct tempo with ample economy and control .

Story was of an important matter that is often suppressed.

Much more poetic than polemic.

Strong female lead and direction was not self-righteously or overbearingly so.

Creative and multifaceted script.

More than adequate character development.

Balanced presentation between societal and personal.

Nice lighting.
