Beautiful. What a great face, the actor who plays the old woman.

This film evokes so much sadness about aging, the ruination of the land, the disconnection from tribal myths.

Yes – all of that – and it’s also compelling, nuanced, hypnotic.
I liked the sub-story about the young man, too, so desperate to make connection and find meaning, and that scene where he’s stuffing his face and telling lies that convince no one of his importance.
