I saw this film with a friend of mine at the Tribeca Film Festival and couldn't stop talking about it. The director introduced the film as an experimental film and it certainly was. He also said the film's look was influenced by the birth of cinema before the first movie camera was made. Think 1886. It had to be one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. It's also a film like no other. It starts with the dawn of mankind and shows various mythological references to original sin. It seems the whole movie was like the confrontations between good and evil. As hard as we strive to be good we often fail because of our own inner human weakness. The beauty of some of the images was extraordinary at times. An angel narrates the film who was a little girl and her voice was so haunting that many in the audience wanted to know who she was. I think you'd have to see this many times to get the full impact. This was one of those rare great experiences and a highlight of the festival.
