José Neves's rating of the film Truth and Illusion: An Introduction to Metaphysics
José Neves

It would not be surprising a movie so immersed in the mysteries of creation by one of the most telluric and pantheistic of North-American primitive filmmakers, what is unusual is that the model adopted is so far from the narrative classical system and very close to a cinematic essay, apparently far from such authors. The result is admirable.
