Ultimately, the film offers no explanation about the cause of it all. No terrifying aliens who started an invasion to claim the resources of the earth. Beautiful images of nature, full of glaciers, geysers and flower fields. It seemed as if "Bokeh" was sponsored by the Iceland tourist offices. If you've never been to Iceland and you can't imagine what it looks like, you'll certainly have a pretty good idea after seeing this film. Most of the film is filled with stunning snapshots accompanied by minimalistic piano sounds. Perhaps the biggest flaw of the film is the limited content. And that's exactly what happened to me, while watching "Bokeh". The only thing is, it shouldn't be in such a way that you lose the complete attention.
