I like Hinterland. It is avant-garde and artistically done--the cinematography with unconventional camera angles and uneven shots are not typical and shock the viewer then pull them into the story. The film depicts breathtakingly picturesque scenery of the beautiful English countryside with wild ponies and animals milling around the highway, all creating images of life and expectation.
Hinterland is an unusually quiet film in this world of bombastic, loud, clichéd cinema. I especially like the beginning of Hinterland--the still, close shots of rooms, the desk, the bathtub--no movement until suddenly a man climbs from a tub establish a haunting mileau.
This film will be a big hit with millennials because it relates to the theme of lost youth searching for meaning.
The original soundtrack is captivating and, with the woman's soulful vocals, is haunting.
The conflicts come out of two young people trying to figure out unknown futures which cause them both fear and trepidation. They're both a bit in love with each other, but are terrified of commitment, of becoming stuck in lives that would take away their freedom to live vibrant, authentic experiences without boundaries like the wild horses roaming the English hills.
