Diane says: “Chlotrudis crunch time is not the time to indulge in this amazing and amazingly simple doc. When nothing had happened after 20 minutes, I had to look up a review to see what I was looking at. (I don’t remember why I ordered this DVD.)
“The cleverness of the directors is to start without speech and gradually build up to conversation, so that the viewer gets her
bearings over time. The editing reminded me of BIRDMAN –the use of darkness to give the impression of one continuous shot.
“I was laughing at myself for watching MANAKAMANA while I watched it, thinking ‘This is what gives art movies a bad name.’ If I had seen this earlier, I surely would have nom’ed it for best doc.
“I hope you do better than I and let it unfold according to plan. 4 cats”
