At first, the impression to discover a collaboration between Pasolini and Fellini.
Then - the touch of Pirandello.
At final, a fairy tale , in modern aspects reminding old fashion Middle East stories.
In fact, a beautiful job of Nathalie Baye and Alain Delon. Especially alain Delon, offering a character just eccentric for his long career.
Provocative ? Not exactly. Only a story of love, illusions and adventures reminding so many cultural islands than it seems a revision of them. Poetic, bizarre and well crafted reflections of love dream, furies and angries and pieces of obsession for ideal of a sort of Don Quixote interpreted by the sex symbol of french cinema.
