Vibrant, fresh, delightfully sorrowful and hopeful
In an existence of constant grey, 15 minute news cycles and the ever present hum of a rapidly spinning world this gorgeously colorful and vibrant film brings a celebration of color, wrapped in myth and topped with a love of decadent, rich story telling. This lovely film is often amusing, poignant and at the same time an active character study in longing, desire, hope, despair, caution and the wild abandon that love can be. It is visually opulent and unafraid of being just what it is. Yes I'm sure there are those that might say "it could've gone deeper" or "not gotten so caught up in itself." But this is one of those rare stories where, if you allow yourself to suspend disbelief and go on the ride the story teller wishes to take you ... you just might enjoy the ride. A wish, granted.
