this be an extremely dense and somber and and complicate film that unravels quite slowly and reveal excruciate detail and like the attention pay in a novel and and watch this film be like watch a novel unfold . while i do not care for the narrator and a i felt he be out of balance with the rest of the performance and this film feature some of the best ensemble act i have ever see and and the lead and summer phoenix and be fabulous . her innocence and naivete some might find implausible and sort of a cross between cinderella and alice in wonderland . i can buy that critique and but she still fabulous and partially because she unlike anything i have ever see before . this film be unbelievably beautiful and film by eric gautier and and part of what be so unique about this film be how it doesn not ever show what you would expect . it always surprising and and despite it length and the film never reveal more than it need to . at 163 minute and it extremely concise and to a fault and i would say and which be one of the wonder of this film . it fill with brief moment which be simply stun and some of the best youre likely to see all year and and all these moment add up in the end to an extraordinary film experience . the family moment be unique and ian holm be brilliant and and what this film have to say about the theater hasn not be see in film since cassavetes open night and or perhaps chaplin limelight . but and believe it or not and this film be much less conventional . i never know where this film be go and and now and have see it and it still have multiple possibility . this be a powerful and incredibly provocative film .
