Hypnotically paced mind bender that reminds me quite a bit of some of Peter Weir's work, specifically The Last Wave which appeared a year before this one.
The Shout leaves a lot to interpretation and will probably reward repeat viewings.
"I've always found it hard to believe that the soul is imprisoned in the body until death liberates it. Don't you think that in periods of spiritual starvation that the soul may take refuge in a tree, a stone?"
On another note, John Hurt's character is an electronic musician, some of the coolest scenes are the creation of his soundscapes. His studio is full of EMS equipment like Putneys, Vocoders and I think I spotted a Roland Space Echo. Great stuff.
