This leisurely, transfixing movie is much more interested in nostalgic atmosphere than "educational" facts.
Hauntingly beautiful documentary.
Glacial in its pacing but beautifully, mournfully evocative of its subjects' ethnic/psychic exile.
A lyrical poem to the lost places in our past and our heritage.
A modernist travelogue, at once impressionistic and precise.
As it observes these people, most of them well over 60, it conjures a melancholy definition of exile as a haunted state of mind.
Too pretty to dismiss, but too dull to recommend.
