I liked the flat storybook diorama compositions and use of extreme foreground as page turns.
The use of wind and rain to represent destructive will and oppressive inertia was great. In general I loved the relationship between freedom and order toyed with in every chapter.

Last, I always really appreciate when media is confident in its vision & execution, then refuses to tell you its answers. Aside from being fun it makes messages way more personal.

I have a strong feeling what will happen in the characters' futures and I appreciate the restraint of leaving it there.

I could keep gushing but all in all it makes me excited to check out more of Béla Tarr's work. It feels like he hits this really nice balance of desolation and tenderness.
