Drying out and parched yet drowning. Awake in a nightmare or living a waking dream. Vivid yet beyond tangible. The voice inside his head taunting him of memories of love lost. He's trudging toward the ocean despite his hatred for water. Drowning when all he wants is to float. Sparse yet defeaning silent moments in the midst of palpable disquieting internal chatter. We see him and what he sees. Opens with a big wave and ends in still water.
Visually stunning. Intense sound design. Good editing (but with some intentional judder?). Haunting soundtrack. Great first film. Can't wait for Kristen Stewart's next directorial effort.
