This beautiful film is a picturesque adventure of a man , Keitel , always serene , in quest for a lost film, his life has not any sense but to find this film . The film is about the peace of mind expressed by the greatness. With superb violin music , pictures that fascinates , an odyssey of beauty through Europe . The film becomes a epic and is stamped with a sentiment of mystery , of past , memories , some scenes remind a sort of religious strangeness .

There is something in the pictures of this film that is indescribable. The camera is always lost in a deep fog , Keitel performance raptures the viewer and captivates by the poetic power of the pictures and dialogues. The movement of the camera subjugates, always moving , very slowly , it literally seems to float in the air , in the fog , around the actors . This slow , quiet presence of the camera delivers a lyrical feeling of peace and calm , even during the war .

A unique experience in cinema . 9/10
