This film definitely has something going for it. Marcel Camus took a classic story and transported it into a peculiar, exotic setting, where it might seem like it wouldn't work, but thanks to the non-actors and interesting music, it works well. Still, something fundamental didn't resonate with me, and I didn't feel like I was watching a pivotal cinematic work.
