A sheep farmer whose remote and quiet life is disturbed by the arrival of both his lover and his twin sister.
A Distant Place is a really slow-moving drama that's in no hurry in delivering you to the next act, and going in knowing that should help you just enjoy it for what it is. That is, a complete countermeasure to all the bloated junk cinema that's being released. It boasts some amazing visuals, and one shot of the genuine beauty of a forest-filled canyon is worth more than a million green-screened action scenes. While the characters deal with their family-related problems and relationships, they inhabit a world of lush colors and serenity. The story doesn't do anything revolutionary but accompanied by the cinematography I think it all clicks in place beautifully.
Genre: Drama. 1h 57min.
