Certainly one of the best films ever made of a stage production. Julie Taymor's astonishing, magical production is infinitely fascinating with its fusion of world theatre traditions with riotous slapstick and acrobatics and stunning visual projections. There is too much to praise. It must be seen. Besides this, the four-camera film captures the arena stage perfectly. The beautiful stage direction is matched by astonishing film direction. Hugely beautiful and entertaining. It is impossible not to love this film.
