beautiful fairytale, 3 November 2006
10/10
Author: (bigmomma_christine) from Belgium

I was moved to tears by this simple yet so aesthetically pleasing fairy tale. The moral of the story is not layered too thickly on top, but still there's no way round it: this is about respect, tolerance, prejudice and open-mindedness.

The oriental influence in style, music,language........is wonderfully inspiring and is a very much needed anti-dote for the negative light in which the Mediterranean cultures are usually presented.

Beautiful music (and silence!); splashes of color; a very tactile movie.

Absolutely a favorite for me and my children!
