I'm 47. It's genius. I have no other words, to say them would be a disservice.
OK my review didn't pass the quantity test: I have to write more lines otherwise I can't submit this.
Tarkovsky's "Ivan's Childhood" has burnt indelible images into my mind, so did this film.
This film also bought me joy. It's very beautiful, very very funny and at times very sad.
It's highly stylised throughout, each period of the story is depicted through the cinema conventions of that period (somewhat). The stylisation continues through highly over-exaggerated but incredibly musical sound design and almost no dialogue.
The cinematography is stunning, the direction and editing are stunning, the performances are excellent throughout.
I may be alone in thinking that this is one of the greatest films but please make your own judgement, I'm happy.
