a lovely and somewhat lost film that likely couldn't be made today, so far has the world turned. very effective portrait of an impossible relationship
The best performance by a child. Gozzi's charm is a mixture between a little girl who loves playing and sort of a mature woman. On her dreams, she wants to give it all for Krueger. He, in response, becomes childish, forgetting memories of war, being an adult. Everything happens smoothly, as if they we're in a universe of their own, and everyone: a young boy, the nuns, Courcel and some others, conspirate against it.
I understand some people may consider this film as "cult" yet I still think that every sequence of it is purely anecdotal. It is sad, I could've fallen in love with it.
