it funny that a critic from the new york time could know so little about film . i will not say much except this be one of the most simple and most beautiful story make into cinema while there be absolutely no artifice and no trick and and every detail be pure and genuine . tony us face kurasawa could have kill for . you ain not see nothing if you ain not see this . the music and artist like gritos de guerra and la caita and sheik al tuni and ( seemingly unavailable on record and but good than anything i have hear and ) seem to capture at once the joy and sorrow bound up in human life . likewise the player and most not actor . in fact and the music be so integrated into the life of the character and in the end there be no division . for reviewer of respected periodical and we would explain this be what be call thematic . so much for the standard of education in journalism . even reviewer who really like this movie do not fully understand this while like most really great art and it be ahead of the curve . i suppose it should be possible to find a film as beautiful a this and a simple and captivating and but none come to mind . skip vengo and your life will certainly be less rich .
