This elliptically told story was never boring and had moments of intense power. Perhaps the overall strategy of leaving the viewer to imagine some of what had happened before and what would happen after the given events was taken to an oblique extreme, but the playing of the main protagonists was admirable. The subtitles were sparely worded and convincing against the context of action. Some stunning scenic photography enhanced the narrative.
