So, 'Petals' from 1990 is really an interesting ride. It dives deep into the motifs from Solveig Mastekaitė’s 'Novels about the Night', which gives it this hauntingly poetic vibe. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere fully. You can feel the weight of the themes as they unfold—life, loss, and the quiet moments in between. The performances, while perhaps not from well-known actors, carry a raw intensity that draws you in. It’s all about those subtle nuances, those practical effects that aren’t flashy but serve the story well. It stands out for its artistic approach and the way it transforms narrative into something almost dreamlike. Worth watching for sure.
