Story
No clear path to follow. The patch jumped in and out. Since the path was not clear neither could the message be. It could be a say on imprisonment or amnesiac but i thought it was a take on development. Development the stage where we grow in our mind and on whom we are. Books are engraved as fountains of knowledge. So, it is a no wonder we turn to them in times of troubles. Alas, in terms of defining our individual paths the books can't help. For books are general. With such a wide spread of knowledge it is hard to wrap things in a nice small box for everyone has different taste. Which means i can't say you are going to become a lawyer who enjoys a sand-which heavy with mayo for you might dislike mayo. But, they can be guidelines but tons of tons have to be read to full picture.
Art
A mess. Normally black and white films can work here it does not. I can understand the black and white concept to show confusion which does a good job at but in certain if not a good portion of the film some segments were far to bright or far too dark. Contrast was flawed. Also, some things were too blurry.
The main character stood out for she lacked a vital necessity. To this moment i don't quite have a grasp on why that was. Perhaps, she did not have it to begin with as indicated by the picture shown in the film? Or perhaps it more symbolical to the fact of one's limitation on themselves?
Character
Nothing direct in terms of character development. It is mostly up for interpretation but it does convey solitude.
