Once I got used to the episodic nature of this film, it drew me in somewhat.
Often, what in other films would be the establishing shot at the beginning of a scene turned out here to be the whole thing! Thus, I was initially caught thinking "I wonder what's going to happen here?" before I realised that the appropriate thought was instead "what does this snippet add to the overall tapestry?". After a while, therefore I was able to piece together enough to make some sort of sense of what was going on.
It's still a bit weird, and low on action, but OK if you're in the right mood, I think.
Plot summary
Kala azar describes of a place that cannot sustain animal life any longer. In a big city somewhere in the south of Europe, a couple takes care of dead animals and abandoned roadkill as an act to give meaning to their life. Kala azar is a meditation on the paradox of life-circles among beings of different species. A film about existence, on the boundaries between living and dead, human and non-human.

Slow but Interesting
Worst movie I've ever seen in my life!!
If I would've been looking at a wall for 90 min, I would've probably got more artistic content than this movie. I will not even go into the things that I didn't like about it, because literally everything was bad and infuriating. I don't mind independent artistic movies, but they need to have some substance to them, this movie had absolutely nothing going on. Shame on whoever considers this art.
