It's not a movie for everyone, of course. It is not an easy topic to address and it was courageous for the director to embark on the journey.
In my head, this story between Emilie and Jacob can be represented by a bubble: you enter it for a while, surrounded by beautiful images of unspoiled, surreal nature. And we emerge lost, out of breath, with a veil of melancholy on our hearts. A feeling that does not go away, for many hours (days) later.
It is a slow, conceptual film based on the sounds of reality that surrounds these two young people, united by a destiny and a past that torments them.
Affection turns into love, love turns into pain.
Proxemics hurts, it doesn't give comfort in the end (maybe yes?).
Few dialogues, many looks, thoughtful words.
Jacob and Emilie live in their bubble, alone, for days. Until the sun comes out and it's that dazzling light that makes them separate. We do not know if they will come back together, if they will let themselves go forever. But everything can be considered a beginning.
The panther running through the Swiss woods is peacefully free, albeit in the shadows, hunted, pursued. Ultimately, however, she will never be caught.
I conclude by quoting the wonderful ending song, "Good" by JJ & Palin, because it is perfect for this movie.
