Poetry in motion

Slow paced and vibrant. Classy. Poetic. Does justice to the rich text by Silvina Ocampo. Plot: Cornelia wants to die and needs help from the ghosts haunting the house to do it. But the film goes far beyond that...

The music, photography and art are great, but I think the greatest achievement is acting and direction. To tell such delicate text without sounding forced requires very good direction from the film maker (Daniel Rosenfeld) and very good acting (all of them), of course. The film reaches intense moments without being over the top Romantic. It also has very interesting montage scenes; specially one with old photos, Cornelia's voice over and The Swan (Saint Saens).

There's no need to say much more. It's a film to experience.
