It may not be exactly new to perceive silhouette figures on the screen, but it is quite another matter as they are offered here.

Enchanting.

It impresses for its exquisite craftmanship, balletic movement, expressive romanticism and moments of potent sensuousness and poetry.

The images, most of them gorgeously detailed silhouettes, are dazzling.
