    Its stunningly composed images showing how Isaac is himself something of a ghost-given to staring off into the distance, being condescended to by those around him, a man perpetually outside the times. What he needs is to take that one extra step toward his spectral siren; the scene in which he does so might be one of the most exhilarating visions of death's sweet embrace ever filmed.

    Too shaggy at times, with digressions into science and history that come out flat and awkward. But there's a sweet, unshakeable poetry in the main idea of the film.

    A captivating mix of formality, ambiguity and offbeat humor. On the surface a simple fable, it's actually much more.

    An uneven but intriguing piece of whimsy that veers from powerfully symbolic cinematography into self parody.
