Whatever his influences, Quintana has made his own, fine thing: a quietly powerful depiction of the what is required to rekindle hope in the hopeless.
A modest, but not maudlin, parable of hope about mustering the strength to vigorously plunge again into life's uncertainties after a devastating loss.
It's a strange brew: stark yet beautiful, urgent yet dreamlike.
Quintana's emphasis on Jungian dream logic gives his otherwise spartan parable a compelling mythic dimension.
This muted, moving small-scale tale of sorrow and faith will strike a chord with both the churchgoing crowd and aficionados of Malick's contemplative, theologically predisposed cinema.
We keep waiting for the film to wash over us, and it never quite does.
Audience Reviews for The Vessel
Confusing as hell and not particularly interesting. This is really just an extremely pretentious film.
