what you need to enjoy this movie


with every point (which) you can confirm, the chances are rising that you will like it
(hope this was in some way english and you know what i wanted to say)

1) you should like independent movies
2) you shouldn't get any problems with slow paced films (very important!)
3) you should have some empathy
4) and should be good in interpreting even the slightest facial expressions
5) you shouldn't get problems if a film lets you alone with your thoughts (very important!)
6) you should be able to have deeper thoughts xD
7) you shouldn't get bored with your own thoughts x'D
8) you should like landscape shots/stills (not really my thing)
9) and like to observe nature (not really my thing)
10) you should have had a desperate situation in your own life
11) you should know the feeling that nature can make you afraid in some situations
12) dark humor: if you have some, you could have some funny moments with this, though its not said that the film is meant to be funny
13) you shouldn't expect that this film is meant to be entertainment
14) you shouldn't expect that this film is pushing you into another phantastic world, with heroes and so on. it is as life is and shows how life can be
15) you should be someone who likes to watch every film till the end

i can confirm 13 of these 15 points and i liked this film.
for me its not a masterpiece (though maybe the experience of this film will grow in my memory and afterwards),
but i would recommend it to someone who is similar to me.

i was bored at some passages, had fun at others, i even have laughed, (attention spoilers ahead, wouldnt uncover them till you have seen the end) felt sad, had thoughts about (attention spoiler ahead) morality and mortality and enjoyed the ending.

I count 11 of 15 for this film. I found this to be one of the most boring movies ive seen, and ive seen a lot (over 7000 titles in my rating history). This movie certainly was not one i could enjoy.
