A dog, cats, cows and the last woman alive

The Wall (2012)

Directed by Julian Polsler this film based on the novel of the same name stars Martina Gedeck. A woman finds herself alone and trapped by an invisible wall in a mountain valley in Austria.

This film might not be for everyone but the story does a great job of exploring the ideas of survival, loneliness and looking at what difference if any there is between human and animal. At times the story moves slowly shifting between seasons but it gives you a real feeling of a way of life that most of us have left behind. I really loved the great landscape shots and the cinematopraghy is pretty much stunning through out.


5/5
