The narrative is slow, but its lyricism and depth justifies that completely. Direction, acting, art direction, set design and photography are superb, impeccable. The original text, transposed almost literally, is beautiful and philosophically meaningful. The movie make us dive into a dense atmosphere of deep and complex emotions, nothing is superficial. Images and sounds fusions in a whirlpool that really touches the spirit, revolving the soul in a dramatic way. The music, mixing elements from Brasil and Lebanon, is marvelous and perfectly harmonic with the whole work. This is not a movie for Oscar prizes or something like that, but the quintessence of the art cinema, and the best movie i have ever seen.
