A great deal of films that are recognized for their greatness is relied on acting performances and writing achievements when it comes to winning the big awards and this is one of the best that took more out of improvised interactions, silent scenes, and haunting imagery. There's barely any dialogue in the film that is catchy or that expresses as much meaning as the imagery does. It reminds us of what film was made to be, nothing too theatrical or too literary, just subtle moving pictures of the world we live in and the imagination of what lurks beyond or beneath it. It's too bad that cinematography is limited to only one category when it defines so much of what cinema is all about and there should be awards given to all aspects that are captured within the camera. That's one of the highest prizes a film can get and this film should have been nominated for that category, but if Birdman wins that will be all the better for a film that also achieved the best in cinema so far for the best in cinematic aesthetics.
