˗ˏˋ suspirliam ˊˎ˗Jan 22, 2023A whispered symphony of sense memories that cycles through the decades like rain water — heavy with images and ambient sounds that trickle down from the generations above before they’re absorbed into the earth and suffused back into the air — the vague but vividly rendered…

Hands are what connect us with the world; they are our main mode of association, not just with one another but with everything that surrounds us. Hands feel the fine, gritty grain of dirt in the bed of an old pickup, that slippery smoothness of mud from a shallow riverbed,…
JerryJan 24, 2023Extremely tender and caring in a way I did not expect. It’s structure is one of the most interesting things about it—pushing away regular ideas of narrative for something more segmented yet still intimate. I think I’m gonna return to this later because I’m not sure if it…

- Bennie is "meh" onAll Dirt Roads Taste of Salt
Certainly an unconventional viewing that resonates on an emotional level. It’s all about sensory touch and memories. It’s incredibly slow paced but it revels in its poetry. I wish I liked this more but it was just too quiet for me and the scenes could have ended sooner. 6
