Day Night Day Night take 2

In my last post I meant to write about a very unusual film I watched the other night. "Day Night Day Night" is a tense little indie which follows the final(maybe) hours of a very polite female suicide bomber. I found it relevant to the chapter we read on "Voice," in that the filmmakers chose very deliberately to keep the audience in the dark as to the motivations of the protagonist and her "handlers." All other details are shown (and heard) in excruciating detail, but the most pressing question of "why" is not answered. Many may find this kind of storytelling a tease, but if it is done well, as it is in "Day Night Day Night" the result can be thought provoking and powerful.
