Lexicon of international film : “Despite folk and at times fluctuating traits, the stories are broad, serious and heavily symbolized and exaggerated in philosophical dimensions by the framework and epilogue. Great poetic narrative cinema and at the same time multilayered reflection on problems of narration. "
