The story is about a Muslim (?) Rambo or Superman. I put the (?) because is the only Muslim I knew that never prays. May be he's just an atheist who loves women in burka. Some little stuff that the writers of this movie need to know. If you shot a RPG in a cave, may be you kill yourself and not your enemies. I you fell in the water is very probable that you get wet. If you fight and kill a dog may be he bites you. To search people in the woods exist heat sensors, who search by visual contact nowadays. If you fell on mud, melting snow and rocks your white jacket and trousers get dirty. Falling trees use to kill people who laid where they fell, if the trunk fell on the belly probabilities are against the guy. Black ants sleep during the winter. If it snow and all is frozen, tree's cork also is frozen and you rip your nail trying to tore the cork. Gentle and gorgeous women don't live in the middle of the woods. What a stupid movie!!!!!

I don't understand why this movie is so underrated. Good acted, specially, Jean-Pierre Darroussin. Darrousin shows so many resources that really appalled me. The film has a rhythm that French movies usually lack. I think the three chapters and their sutil and soft changes of perspective are the greatest merit of this movie. I guess this style isn't innovative (remember Rashomon?) but is well articulated and the repeated scenes aren't boring, far from that, it's turn more interesting with every turn. Then the big picture only becomes clear in the third and final part, "All Together," which takes up about half the film and again reshuffles and elaborates on what has come before finally allowing the characters to function independently and showing all their cards.

Poor acting, including the extras, when facing suicide the four followers reaction was as if they must take the flu vaccine. Worst casting I ever have seen, may be they take the people waiting in an ATM or in the public hospital... no, no people in public health system show some kind of anger or boredom, in that movie you can't expect such level of expression. An evil gravedigger that seems your good and lovely uncle Joe with the Marylin Manson's ten inches nails, he make you think that to give him a caipirinha or buy him tickets to Vasco da Gama soccer game. Ridicoulous clothes, I guess there is something token from the Museum of Bela Lugosi. Yes sir, you're right... there is a kind of Igor puppet following good uncle Joe all movie long... limping as usual, as the canon rules. Special effects the kind you get in a a bar mitzvah clip. I'm sure someone made a good profit from the generous Brazilian foment cinema funds. Don't watch it. Don't spare your 5 bucks. Don't waste your time.
