a brilliant, moving film, 8 March 2008
10/10
Author: r-falconer from United Kingdom

This beautifully shot film tells the story of a young woman's transformation from a state of despair to new life. She begins in a state of exile; her lover has disappeared and she is left feeling rootless and homeless. From France, she follows her ex-lover to Transylvania, and there she discovers an inner strength and wildness that allow her to make a home anywhere she is. Several key episodes are told with an ambivalence that leaves them lingering in the memory; this is a film that makes you participate in the telling. I've never seen or heard a film that spoke to me so intensely and directly. Much of its emotional power comes from the superb sound-track, especially the use of gypsy music, although the two main characters are also mesmerisingly good. Don't miss it.
