Variety Review of "The Wind Journeys" at the Cannes Film Festival

As helmed by Guerra (avoiding the sophomore slump after his prize-winning 2004 debut, "La sombra del caminante"), "The Wind Journeys" unfolds at a slow but steady pace commensurate with that of its two leads, offering gorgeous but never unnecessary stops and detours along the way. Whether framing a hut on a cloud-wrapped hilltop or the cracked, parched ground of a desert, Paulo Perez's widescreen compositions often dwarf the characters in their sheer scale and grandeur, offering up the region's desolate beauty as an object worthy

of endless contemplation.
