  GODLAND was good, Not Bergman - but really good. Loved the natural sound recording, photography and landscape study of terrain and wildlife. I don't think I've ever heard rain pattering any better than in this movie. This movie is like that 80's Harrison Ford amish movie WITNESS has a baby with Ingmar Bergman's SHAME, and then steals the 4x3 framing of Robert Egger's THE LIGHTHOUSE and skinny dip swims into a 12 ft. pool of Kodachrome film stock found on EBAY. A lot of stock. And, a cold swim that lasts for 2 1/2 hours. Geez Louise, I'm literally shivering thinking about that visual I have just concocted. Brrr. BYE.
