User review:
This is such a wonderful movie! All the ‘takes’, the music, the photography, the story, the parts…… everything is so ‘artistic’, I mean ‘Art’, with a Capital ‘A’, Art as it should be. It’s magnificent! I’d like to say to this director: “BRAVO!” Because he transmits such a wisdom in terms of human behavior – the movie teaches psychology at the same time, as the images follow each other….. it’s simply marvelous!! I would never be tired of watching to this movie again and again!
