Until the very last moment, when the truth was revealed, the shocking impact of the film seemed to have just begun, and then everything else had to be paused for a while to absorb the shock.

The film begins when the mother dies and the client reads his will to the two grown-up twins. In accordance with the mother's last wish, the younger sister and the elder brother returned to their homeland one after another to find their father and another lost elder brother. At the same time, the mother's legendary, bizarre, love-hate life experience was gradually revealed in front of the siblings.

At this point, it doesn't matter where the story takes place. All the countries and regions that continue to cause conflicts and wars under the banner of religious beliefs can be used as the background for the story. In the midst of tragic religious conflicts and even crimes, personal fate is like the petals falling to the ground in the wind and rain, and is mercilessly crushed by the mud and dust, and even the pain has long lost its recognizable face.

    A/The Odyssey and Oedipus the King. The narrative structure that intersects time and space is fantastic. Villeneuve's cinematic awareness makes the loosely joined parts of the script too dense. Completely defeated by the last few heavy hammers. My current favorite, Villeneuve.
