Amazing film. DVD

Summary

I'm having trouble figuring out what to say about this movie because there's so much I loved. I am an input junkie. I'll sometimes be listening to podcasts while reading, I write while watching shows. But even though the first 15 to 20 minutes of this film are a guy walking around with zero dialog, I was absolutely enthralled.

Everyone in the film is cool, but not in some put on, cartoonish way. I felt like I was watching something real. Most movies involve some kind of myth. Even realistic movies--even documentaries--put the story ahead of reality if that makes sense. This is one of the very few films where I felt like what I saw was absolutely happening.

Maybe it was because I was drinking scotch. But whatever the reason, this is currently my favorite movie.
