Soundless Wind Chime (2009)

Words are often sparse in this, it's a very visual film. As such, it allows for and sometimes requires interpretation. It's not conventional, tidy, linear story-telling. It's more akin to the non-sequiturs of dreams and memories, where emotions are more important than the narrative links.

I could give you my current understanding of it, after one viewing and some reflection, but that would be far too limiting. It's the kind of film which invites us to participate, to consider its pieces from different angles and points of view. Perhaps there isn't a single meaning or interpretation, but something more like a hologram or a kaleidoscope of shifting interpretation.

The emotions are clear throughout. Maybe that can be a key for those who aren't used to this way of watching a film? There's a question in the non-linear narrative which may not have an answer. Don't get caught up in that, but let yourself be open to the possibilities. This film is worth that kind of attention, simultaneously close and careful, but also loose and free.
