Is this work narrative or non-narrative? It depends on how an audience interpret it. From my point of view. It’s more likely a narrative one than a non-narrative one. The background music is mostly intense, no presentation, no dialog, half-way resolution. However,from my point of view, it’s more likely a narrative one than a non-narrative one. It’s chaos but it does have a unite sequence. From the headings: birth-between-rebirth to the plots, they are paralleled. The 3 characters begin at a low emotional stage; then they go through a struggling stage to a extreme emotional stage to reach their resolution. The same idea or meaning is transmitted via 3 separate rituals: one must overcome his obstacle even though it is harsh before reaching a new stage of his life circle.
Further thought:
This artistic work is brilliant for studying, but it is kind of boring for most of common audiences. There is a heaps of negative comments for this one: boring, weird or even crap etc. I myself can interpret the content but also find it really boring. If I accidentally brows this one on Youtube, I will not have enough patience to watch all of the 3 rituals. May be just the 1st one and I’ll hit the fast forward button. Is this type of product worth to invest when the majority of audiences will turn their back on it?
