    a parable

    or an Arabian fairy tale about magic boxes and illusion price. impressive for story more than for CGI. seductive for atmosphere and for the desire who seems so normal. it is one of the most inspired films about essence of dictatorship. about freedom in Gulag. or about the clash against the dark reality. after its end remains the powerful feeling of fascination. the story is not exactly original. you know it from many mystery/fantastic stories . but the impression is the same. a box. red. and a lot of box of matches. that is all.
