Canopy (2013)

Wartime, 1942. Singapore. An Australian fighter pilot shot down in combat awakens suspended in the treetops. As night devours day, he must navigate through dangerous jungle in search of sanctuary. Transcending language and culture, CANOPY is a cinematic tour de force exploring the collision of war, nature and its impact on humanity.

This film is a candid excerpt into what it must have been like to be a pilot shot down in enemy territory.
Its unusual because there is no script and no more than two actors of any consequence. The acting was superb.
It was superbly done and photographed beautifully.
Obviously the director had other ideas in mind when he introduced the flashbacks and Billie Holiday song. It was a masterstroke albeit reminiscent of an American not an Australian.
The acting of the Chinese soldier was excellent.
It can be as simple as what the director gave us.
It gave a sense of realness not the usual hype and phoney Hollywood nonsense.
