Plot summary

Johannes, an innocent, Kaspar Hauser-like man with the heart of a child, lives secluded in an alpine hut together with his eagle and his devout mother. Daily life in this isolated world is governed by prayer and ritual. But suddenly, modern objects and disruptive noises intrude between nature and worship. A tourist development threatens to poison their paradise and awaken the devil.

some feelings

I thought it would rise to retaliation against outsiders. Unexpectedly, the story continued between mother and son and myself. It was boring and wasted a good theme.

Where's the baby?

There's the baby/devil - now I will not bother going through my mind or my thoughts for this sentence that is one of the most used ones in the movie. There are not too many things that are being said, but this will stay with you. And the movie might stay with you too. I know that the manchild character certainly will. And while I am not the biggest fan of the specific actor, he did a great job portraying that said character.The location is great and the sound design helps elevate this for all arthouse lovers. The mother character seems to not have done much in the acting world, but that is nothing that actually matters when it comes to the movie. It may even have been freeing for the director to see her spread her wings - no pun intended to other creatures who actually do this.There are many things that get touched upon here - and again, if you see a pun here, I love the way you're thinking but try to get your head out of there. Trying to get ones head out of society - one of the themes. Which is hard all things considering - like having electricity and relying on a lot of people - not just God. The devil can be everywhere or you will be able to see him everywhere, if you look hard enough.Also while we are never told how long the two have been living there, the fact they still use things from the modern world might be an indicator. The kid (man) who seems lost - and he wouldn't fare better in the "real" world, has been led to believe a few things. He only knows his mother and a handful of other people. He really does a great job - but the movie takes its sweet time. Something you can either get down with or be annoyed by. The movie still is able to deliver one final punch that is quite exhilarating. Certain (religious) things are hammered into the viewer, others are done with more subtlety. There is a strange mix going on here, that some will love because ... you know art.But I am certain the director had a clear vision of what he wanted to make and he knows there is an audience for this kind of stuff. Those who will love it, will absolutely adore it ... but a lot will be just bored by it. Symbolisms and slow pacing are up for grabs ... sort of.
