There’s plenty to enjoy here, especially the sparkling emotional openness of Garr, who is a terrific natural dancer and seems always to be dancing, even when she isn’t.

A movie that takes a drastic and original approach to the very notion of character, to the essence of subjectivity in cinema.

It’s the sheer commitment to artificiality that makes One from the Heart an important inspiration for the modern musical, even while it stares backward.

It’s a pretty film with a dark edge, and has never looked better.
