REVIEWS
" This movie is graceful, subtle and sure-footed. An attention to emotional nuance and narrative detail that make the film satisfying as well as charming." - The New York Times"A modernist dream, hand drawn and more lyrical for that personal touch, it is as if some of the surrealist spirit of Salvador has been brought to life" - Los Angeles Times
