Storyline
Featured review
This is definitely a movie worth seeing. I wouldn't categorize it as "fantasy" though, because that makes you think of unicorns and dragons. But it's not fantasy in that way. Sure, impossible things take place, but it would be better categorized as surrealistic in the sense of South-American literature (Mario Vargas Llosa , Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende, Laura Esquivel). If you like books by these writers, you will enjoy this movie as I did. The scenery is very much as you would imagine it for such actions to take place. It also provides a very nice portrait of the different characters - the local policeman, the prostitute in the autumn of her career and life (same as her faithful clients). In fact the only "normal" people (that is not overemphasized) are the oboe-player and the woman that runs the cinema.
