Au commencement

I was engage throughout the film.

LOVE the choice of camera angle and the use of sound -- really opens up audiences' imagination -- created a lot of tension.

Great first feature -- well done!

I guess every country audience has to watch these movies before they get to good movies. 4: 3 format, very long sequences, very experimental, why?

First good things...about feminism,very interesting portrayal of a main female character. Beautifully shot with main actress really good. Some scenes are shot for sake of it( long still take). Finally as an atheist the religious part of the movie is frustrating so can't get warm to the movie

The male narrative turned Medusa into a monster, while in her Greek origin she was a muse. For Yana's husband, rape implies a certain acceptance. This masculine reading marks the path of an uncomfortable, claustrophobic film that seems to expel the viewer but in reality traps him in its static, rigid planes. And in his splendid use of the off-camera, where that which threatens the main image seems to be. Splendid example of a thoughtful cinema.

This film impressed me by its cinematic timing and the use of silence. It became more and more deep with time, I cannot stop thinking and rethinking some scenes. The director started with a powerful scene that gets more layers of reading along the film. The scene by the river, at night, with fairy enough light to see in the darkness made wonder about how light can be perceived and how it affect the action in frame. The sound coming from out of frame also makes us complete the scenes beyond the limits of the frame, however, it expands the perception of the space even if we dont see more things in frame.
