"Where are you going?" "I don't know" "I advise you to go straight ahead" "Why?" "That's where you were going. There must be a reason." ♥♥♥
A graceful, joyous and entirely unpredictable film, steeped in medieval mythology, in Bresson, Rohmer and Lacan; a film of ogres, knights and lions. A delight.
