I like his "The Elephant" the year before, and this one also uses the same way of moving the camera, wandering with the protagonist's back. The picture is dull, the plot is light, and the beauty and tranquility of the countryside are so transparent that people want to die, or maybe they will see the world very clearly before they die.
The author of the shot is constantly digging inward and inward. Although he may not need to find anything when he digs three feet in the ground, it is this kind of tireless digging, and the action itself becomes the purpose. Since it's a tribute to Kurt Cobain, let the music do the talking. You can ignore the few lines in it, and only a few pieces of music are enough to comfort the lag and procrastination of the whole film.
Wandering Blake sings over and over again: It's a long, lonely journey, from death to birth. The last splendor, and then the naked heaven.
