-
80Though it's divided into three chapters--"Voices," "Recollections" and "Innocence"--the film takes a largely free-form look at a dying community that's more reminiscent of Frederick Wiseman's nonfiction case studies than the usual sociopolitical hand-wringing.
-
70At a leisurely 172 minutes, the pic takes on the desultory rhythms of rural stagnation, its rigorous compositions imparting aesthetic weight and meditative scope to everything in its purview.

I do not expect to soon find scenes to match Ghost Town's mountaintop funeral, the running along after a rowdy exorcism, or the scanning of faces at the town Christmas chorale. His back to prosperity, Dayong finds hallowed ground.
