Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 3 out of 5

  1. An elegant, poetic fable of endurance.
  2. 40
    Time and space are condensed by means both elegant and crafty, and rarely are any of the characters made to be more--or less--than allegorical.
  3. 20
    Major characters drop in and out of sight, WWII begins and ends without much fanfare, and full decades pass in the space of a few cuts.
