A cinematic poem beautifully filmed but a little too long.

Rating: 6/10 (27 April 1999)

Superb acting and cinematography but it was a little too long and often the words were unnecessarily difficult to understand. The music was at times superb and at other times too mushy. Not a film to go to for an evening's entertainment but for a comment on the nonsense of war in a poetic form and to make you think of your own priorities in the appreciation of life and nature it was superb.
