Even if commentators like "planktonrules" can't appreciate the painstaking, artful direction or the fairytale-like atmosphere of this film, other people no doubt will. The film doesn't need dialogue because the director has clearly mastered the art of visual storytelling. Of course the film is graphic (I wouldn't recommend it to children, of course) but the graphic imagery is clearly motivated and there is nothing gratuitous about it. Maybe that is the most shocking thing about this film: that the violence and the visual effects aren't employed merely for the aesthetic enjoyment of the audience, but as an integral part of the storytelling. If being challenged by a film is beyond your capacity as a viewer, by all means, avoid this film. But if you want to watch a engaging (yes, even disturbing) film that doesn't instrumentalize its characters, then by all means check out Songbird.
