The first thing I noticed and liked, was that the palate (color scheme, cinematography) of this film reflects the characters, and atmosphere in it. At times almost black and white, and gray only. Grim, drained, heavy, dry and... Apocalyptic? Yes, sure is. The sound is also in good company with that sentiment as well. When the appropriate score isn't being heard, we hear... wind whistling. Dirty scratching. Fire burning or water being sipped carefully from canteens. Cicadas, uh, Cicada-ing. The occasional bird in the sky flapping or cawing.
But wait! There's more!
