Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
[A] mesmeric film.
– Jay Cocks,
TIME Magazine,
29 Aug 2014
fresh:
Full of mysteries, omens, ambiguities, and signs of incipient madness, and it resolves itself into a riddle that is the cinema's richest homage to all that's remarkable in Borges.
– Tony Rayns,
Time Out,
7 Dec 2007
fresh:
The film's color photography is extraordinarily lovely for, like the conspirators within the film, Bertolucci has a weakness for the purely theatrical effect.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
fresh:
It's a movie with a beautiful cinematic grace, a way of establishing atmosphere and furthering plot without a lot of talking.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

[Features] sumptuous visuals and sense of high tragedy.
