With the sensuality and rich score of a Kieslowski
transported to the East, this movie seduces one to it's pacing and unique
narrative voice. The images and sounds are stark but soothing as we see a young
girl become a woman.
Yet this film isn't just about the one character, but about
the joys and heartaches of women, all women. There is the loss of a child, the
simple pleasure of putting on a shoe, the charm and heartache of men, the
beauty of nature and the seduction of cooking.
It is a visual poem, a tribute to women, and an
encouragement to take joy in everyday things. This film is truly a thing of
beauty.
