A beautiful, playful film about an ageing woman, whose deceased neighbour’s maid helps her find a man with links to her past in Africa. A tantalising mixture of Raul Ruiz and Robert Flaherty, this film occupies a world all its own and ranked second in Sight and Sound’s Top Ten last year.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS: I was lost in the first part and mostly slept, but the second part was magical; Oh dear – a sad tale ending in lonely obscurity. What became of the crocodile? There was no humour here – it was a tragedy; Even at a second viewing I thought it went on a bit; Quite simply the most tedious film I’ve ever seen!
