Profound, dense, philosophical. Angelopoulos & Ganz? Not surprised

Profound, dense, philosophical. Angelopoulos & Ganz? Not surprised this kind of deep film resulted from that pairing.

People nowadays have been eating loads of belly-filling

People nowadays have been eating loads of belly-filling greasy junk food which is mostly spoon-fed by American streamlined production companies. People have lost the appreciation of how valuable beautifully crafted long takes are. How it navigates the collective space called society and the collective time called history, through an individual's subjective lens. An old man who fears the present lingers between his yesterday and tomorrow, his pain and desire, his secular attachment to his lost wife and his spiritual ambitions of his unfinished book. His introspection appears in his self talking to his dying mother in a care center. He questioned why he abandoned his native language and pursued a new one with his life, while the Albanian little boy constantly ran away from him, from the child traffickers, from his tragic homeland. When Alexsantro stoped sending the little boy back to his country and the little boy stoped run away from Alex, their intention of separating their path of life is gone. Alex shouted vulnerably in tears to the child "Stay with me!" the imagined line between secular and spiritual faded and two lonely islands float on the endless sea together side by side for one day, for eternity.
