"When you can't remember, invent"

An astonishing piece of art, beautifully composed images, each one like a painting itself, A perfect symphony of all things that is cinema.

The narrative is very very good. It has a dose of portugalismo all over. The images are like canvas. You could easily imagine that u are watching the movie at a gallery. Spoiler: it has nothing to do with birds. It's a metaphor. If you like. If you enjoy Terrence malick give this a chance.

Portugal's official entry to 2022's Oscars is a visually stunning documentary. Literally every frame of it is a masterpiece. It's emotional and compassionate but I couldn't connect to it. It's so philosophical and metaphorical, the monologues are so sophisticated which makes it annoying and hard to follow most of the time.
