I saw this film at the Sarajevo Film Festival in July and had to see it again here in Tampa when I returned. Benh Zeitlin happened to be there at the time and spoke briefly after the screening.
An incredible accomplishment for such a young filmmaker, the combination of the young heroine's powerful presence and the magical realism that envelops the film makes for an extraordinary experience.
