RTTime OutFeb 9, 2006

There are coded messages of the tribulations of the artist here, and also a playful, mischievous comedic tone that allays any feeling of self-absorbtion on the director's part. Astonishing.

How Mr. Paradzhanov manages the tricky feat of kidding folk themes yet according them love and respect is his secret. How well he succeeds is here for the rest of us to relish.

[Paradjanov] recreates the past with an exaggerated sense of myth and magic.

Experimental film is visually inventive.
