Oil on Water is a sensitively made film about mental illness. The story is well told, although a bit slow at times, but the cinematography and the artistic treatment is exceptional. The insight into schizophrenia is horrifying and a real eye-opener.
Artistically this fine film has a feeling of being "painted!" The art direction is impeccable. The cinematography is breathtaking.
Schizophrenia is a real illness that so many have to deal with every day. This movie is a reminder of that and thought provoking.
Oil on Water is truly beautiful, profoundly moving, and an incredible work of art. This film should be watched by all who have been affected by, or know people, with a mental illness.
