What Is Cinema?

The strength of Posada's film comes from various elements. Music merges perfectly with the scenes and echoing dialogues that the travel becomes an internal journey too. It is a fact that mind starts to "speak too much" during long trips. And as a director, Posada's creative effort deserves attention as he puts the camera in interesting places and he uses different angles. There is an answer to the typical question like "What is cinema?" in this film and it is the closing sequence in which people appear in the railway like mythical creatures as the train continues its journey. An art piece should have memorable moments if it wants to be remembered. In short Posada proves that he understands what cinema is, technically and artistically.
