This film shows the best of the Maltese cinema. One has to recognize the greatest achievement, perhaps,of the creative talent of the people working in the Maltese movie industry. "Qerq" represents a monumental leap, as well as a departure,for the Maltese movies, as they were done prior to this film.
This movie is probably one of Frida Cauchi's best works. Maria Farrugia seems like somewhat of a hack, but that is easily forgotten when Cauchi is in the picture, she is never better than when she is working for Louis Cuschieri. Cuschieri creates probably the single most beautiful and stunning final sequence that has ever been put on Maltese film. It's visually brilliant and the astonishing music score will seal the stunning ending, it is a scene that I know will stay with me for a long time.
