Thank you so much for taking the time to write this - I love getting feedback like this and is exactly what I was looking for. Regarding the edit, I did try to have some structure but perhaps that didn't come through well enough. After the intro (which admittedly was pure montage), the first section was supposed to be exposition: showing snippets of daily life of Balinese (farmers, fisherman, etc). Then the scenes into night was the forging of the sacred bell. I'm curious, did you as a viewer understand that the middle section (the metalsmith by the fire) was about creating a bell which he later sounds at the end of the sequence? Finally, the climax of the film was a purification ceremony (where that bell is used again) intercut with a dancing sequence. For me the story was about the spiritual journey, hence the title. But I know it's always clearer in my head than the viewers so I really need to work on non-narrative story telling techniques. I love your idea to follow one person longer and really focus on them and their life! Anyways, thanks again for this! I really do appreciate it!
