    Fantastic animation, both in its technical finesse and its beautiful and imaginative portrayal of nebulous concepts.

    this is a gorgeous, dark film with exquisite characters who looked real and their expressions were so apt...the dark figures that came later were deliberately kept a secret...many secrets...many dreams...were they real or not??? Thank you, NFB!
