The movie reminds me pretty much in Franz Kafka, who showed the defects of centralistic societies as allegories. We see in some parts a very exaggerated version of a reality that is defined by the power of man. And that what we call civilization is corrupted by power in all it's places and institutions. But not only the men are corrupted. Women are too. And this saves the movie for me, that we can see right that. The movie is not superficially depicting a strange gender dichotomy. It is very much differentiating one woman and an other. And moreover it shows clearly, that, what ever we are, man or woman, we are a product of our environment. If that is sick and corrupted, we very likely become too. We are not free to decide. The Woman, who is not from civilization, but from nature is the non corrupted human, who does not see men and women. Who judges everyone the same. (Even though the actors, the pictures and the soundtrack are great, minus 2 continuity points (#1 her armpits are shaved, #2 she got a knife.)
