Tiwahe


This is slices of life at the Fort Belknap reservation in Hays Montana. It's moments in time over a year or more. 

There isn't so much a through line as a passage of time with good people. I really like this film a great deal, however at the same time I know the structure of the film, isolated minutes with the various people on the reservation coming together to form a whole (kind of like cinematic pointelism) may not work for everyone. 

I also freely admit that there are moments that are better than the whole (I love the dog on the roof of the car). My thoughts on the film are kind of split right now. I am thrilled to have discovered the film  and I'm kind of lost as to why this film has almost no word on the internet. 

This is a film deserving of an audience.(Though I suspect it hasn't gone to too many big festivals) At the same time I admit this isn't for everyone.
