5.0 out of 5 stars rare and remarkable, 16 Jan 2005
By A Customer
I saw this amazing film at the London Film Festival years ago but it has stayed with me clearly. Film starts with a pace that forces the viewer to slow down (I thought first I would fall a sleep!) before it grips you and takes you on a tabu-breaking voyage. The meditative pace is deceptive - the film has quirky sense of humor and is relentlesly modern in its themes.
It tells about a young man, and his dysfunctional family that is pulled uncomfortably together after he develops a neck problem, having fallen into the river of the title. Polluted river symbolises the murky undercurrents of the family relations and is a catalyst for the events that shake their - and the viewer's - understanding of life.
This is not a film for those with a conservative mindset as the film can alienate or offend, but those who feel they have seen most stories thousands of times, and can predict resolutions a mile off, this film will lead to uncharted waters. It completely stunned me - in the most quiet and reflective way possible.
