I saw t, too and had abou the same reaction especially with the cinematography. The lyrical storytelling reminded me of a Terrence Mallik movie.I never did figure where Leonardo got his modern jacket after he shed the bearskin though. Neither did I interpret the bear scene as a rape..just very primitive and relentless violence. Living in Montana a number of years and being outdoors a lot made me well aware of the possibility and horror of a bear attack. Would give the movie a B+.
Anyone know where I can pick up one of those semi-automatic flintlock pistols?
