Audience Member Something personal and mystical occurs in a story about human experiences that has a very ancient Greece feeling. The landscape fills the sense of human scale and provides background, space and colours of white sensed more than seen. This is a paradise for the heart. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Very unusual, but interesting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Strange film but amazing acting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Very unusual, but interesting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A unique world has been created here, but the fairy tale magic is distributed a bit too crudely and unevenly to be entirely effective.
