'Birds' is a film, it is clear, about cranes and about failure. And about men who fail.
With this 'road movie' plot and with the help of two actors as convinced of their craft as they are aware of the defeat that inhabits them, Durà composes an essentially beautiful, heartfelt and lucid film. About everything lost, about each lost path, about forgiveness that always comes late. About all that and, more immersed in human (rather than animal) ethology, about the weaknesses of a masculinity that is not so much in crisis as simply wrong.
