Shepherd - 2021 - 5/10
Eric lays a rose on Rachel‘s casket as it lowers.
Next, he ferries across the sound to begin work as shepherd on a remote island.
Right away, I wonder about the voyage, the ferryman, the isolation.
Is Eric dead?
The film is too steeped in mood and atmosphere for its own good.
Eric is not remotely sympathetic. So much so, midway, I started hoping he would hang himself.
Common complaint: sound design overwhelms dialogue.
