Yeah, definitely a film I'll remember for its naive storytelling and great dreamlike b/w photography. An excellent fantasy film.

I was able to completely enjoy this movie by watching it not with my total and utter attention. I think that would have been too much. I watched it while occasionally doing trivial things around the house and drinking wine. It was a complete experience, and I rank it among my all time favourite films. I did not make the Muslim reference mentioned. I will watch it again and pay more attention this time.

Apart from all the - great - things you could say about this film, I really enjoyed the soundtrack.

Probably the single most atmospheric movie I've ever seen.
