I finally saw it too, and I'd almost say that "The Remnant" would have been a better title

What remains when we substitute "making a living" for "having a life"? A REMNANT, and the root of all evil?

What remains is "realism" (and occasionally, "magic realism") at it's best. The "actors" in this film rarely seem like *actors* to me. Rather, they seem like "props", mostly. Film props, caught within a torrent of action on film.

And while the photography is beautiful, I find that even the best "nature photography" rarely captures the true look and feel of "NATURE". Literal translation inevitably falls hard on it's knees. In some ways, the harder we try to "save" the more miserably we fail at doing so.

And perhaps, this is all to the point. When life is lost, or when life eludes capture, all that remains is... PROPS.

Thumbs Up.
