This symbolic story intertwines the lives of the main characters after a terrible accident takes place on an icy mountain road. Here, the filmmaker presents destiny, rather than the Almighty, as the controller of our lives. The main cast members are a wounded and libidinous bunch, evidencing little spiritual awareness. Artistically, the film has one chief merit – its cinematography. Not only has director of photography Frank Griebe set his camera in just the right spot to wow the audience visually in every scene, but he also uses the camera’s lens as a focal personality. The camera becomes a narrator. It may be the finest use of camera work to further a narrative that I have ever seen. Alas, the dispirited and carnal lifestyle of the film’s main characters, which do not change by film’s end, prohibits me from recommending this as family entertainment. As for fate, it is not destiny that governs our lives, but the will of God. “As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore.” Psalm 125:2.
