Baroque visuals, sometimes plodding dialog
7 September 2004 | by (San Francisco) – See all my reviews

A late film by Wojciech Has (Saragossa Manuscript, The Sandglass) has fine visual detail the director is known for. The opening scene, depicting the exhuming of a corpse who revives to tell the film's story, is utterly masterful as are many of the following scenes particularly toward the end. The long center section, concerned with moral issues of good and evil often get bogged down in static philosophical dialog. Still, the later scenes are worth waiting for.
