Coincidentally, we just watched this last night!
I thought the best thing about it was how it evoked the semi-magical power of surrendering yourself to an environment. Forgetting yourself, focusing on everything around you, and allowing your mind to gradually be re-shaped by what you're perceiving. Sort of letting a small piece of the world gradually, over time, enter in and become you.
I've experienced this in small ways here and there; seeing the film made me hungry for a deeper level of that experience.
