Of the films we have watched so far, Cold Fever is the one I liked the least. The film and our discussion afterward seemed to point to rituals as integral parts of growth and development as individuals. I do not understand this importance as by definition, a ritual is an "established or presribed procedure" and in terms of living life and growing through one's experiences, to ritualize ones life not only seems to add unneccessary complexity and rigidness, but seems to demand that these rituals be repeated which seems counteractive towards growth. While I can see the merit in reliving old experiences don't the new ones more often provide previously unseen insight?
