Very slow opaque film. Mostly short, isolated scenes set in a beach-like area. We never learn who these people are, what their relationships are, what country this is, what's up with the soldiers...really anything that would give the film some context.
The first ten minutes was shot in near darkness which tellingly set the tone for what was to follow. Near the end a woman hanged herself...I wasn't even sure which character she was.
I learned it was from Sri Lanka by looking on the web.
This just doesn't make it as a film. It may have expressed some private anguish but nothing I saw on screen had any meaning to me.
