User Reviews

A must for people who like the unusual

I just had the great pleasure to watch this film in Madrid. I had no idea what to expect. The film is both beautiful and poetic and gives its main character the stage. Oleg Karavaychuk is a rare character, an eccentric in all the best forms possible. The film moves from monologues to piano pieces and captures a bizarre world inhabited by one man. There are glimpses of a luxurious past now lost to ruin and memories. Andres Duque, the director, treats everything with a great sensitivity and respect. The combination of the two artists is exquisite. This is not mainstream but a must for art lovers and people who like to take a trip into a strange and fascinating world.
