A true adventure

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2016)

A visual glory of time and movement as we cross settings, nations, villas, wars, and paths along with a man searching for himself in a distinctly modernizing world, all the while holding back to past traditions. Our protagonist is courageous, yet spiteful, frank, yet subtle, a character of his times trapped between borders cut across revolution, languages, and traits. Not only is this one of the most beautifully shot films of all time, the colors, the simplicity of movements, but it is also one of the most entertaining, a true adventure. A masterful director, cast in order. If anything, the a story of a lost person's searching, in order to not only survive, but thrive, is distinctly powerful. A painting in itself, the colors, technique are held in time as if not knowing when it was even possibly shot. A wonderful soundtrack that ensues and inspires.
