"Shifts from euro-docu-drama to Peter Greenaway to symbolist to surrealism to sentimental to phisosophical to theatrical to morality play to intrigue to incomprehension to... An interesting spin on the tale. Worth a view. Uncertain of historical accuracy." --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , 1998).
