Refreshing Art movie with extraordinary camera work and one especially gifted actress

I was lucky to be in Montreal and see this film at a special cinema called Ex-Centris. There has never been a movie I enjoyed more. Some of the cast members were there and spoke to the audience. My absolute favorite was Lydia Lockett who played Magda. She recited some of her original poetry to us, right there in the theater. No wonder her lines were so great. She's a poet. Most of the cast wrote their lines because at the end of the movie it is written -"with improvisations by....." The director Ziad Touma is to congratulated. Watch out for his films. I believe he has begun a new wave in cinema. And watch out for Lydia Lockett. She is an actress beyond comparison.
