The only thing I can say about this film is... it doesn't get much better than this. The movie is simply fantastic and I don't think I can write a review that makes it justice. But I think I can comment on two aspects. First the film as a form of reading on the novel. The novel is almost purely descriptive. And the film translate this. The film is positively a descriptive film. Everythng about it is a description. This blew me away. Secondly, the cinematographic language is really captivating. It feels like a documentary. It's about the way you get it from just looking at things. At the beginning there is a long first shot at the boy and you slowly begin to see all that's happening to him. the weight he is carrying. This is one of the best films I've seen in years. Many years.
