Add to those inarguably arresting sequences is the unique camera work. In the entire film, the camera neither tilts nor pans. Every shot is static, as if the camera operators (Artur Tort and Lav Diaz) set up an establishing shot, then went out for coffee and a doughnut while the actors cantered about before the lens.
