A Ghost'S Story would have been an even more descriptive title. Not Horror or even Supernatural - this is an Arthouse meditation on the Meaning of Life/Death/Immortality. An experience. So not everyone's cup of tea. Even if you like said genre, you'll need to be in the right headspace. Give it 10-20 mins to try out. Relax and let yourself drift off into a bit of cinematic meditation. You won't miss anything.
There's little action or dialogue. Each scene is exquisitely composed - often agonisingly slow and the soundtrack is sublime. There's a strong sense of everything happening (mostly nothing) in real time. Eons of real time. The comic-book cliche of a white-sheeted spectre is probably the only dark chuckle you'll get - the film is relentlessly sombre and not overly interested in warmth. Zero sentimentality. Masterful storytelling.
Hope I haven't put you off experiencing this unusual, subtle, beautiful film which has haunted me for days now.
