The Portuguese-American director’s first feature film proceeds towards the undisciplined flow of the film-essay in which Hawaii serves as an irradiating nucleus, both as historical circumscription and conceptual abstraction, creating an engaging sensory experience surrounded by nature and humanity amid the Anthropocene era.Read More »
