Splendid! In the beginning, I needed some time to accustom to the pictures. Then I realized, that I've been confused by some of the stage-like settings and, of course, by the "unnatural" colours. This is a quite ironic hommage to all the Cinemascope movies of the fifties an sixties, perhaps of some of the obscure ethnographic movies of the former Soviet Union...? Anyway, the camera, and some of the motifs, are producing a real American Western athmosphere. Remember the shooting of the gynaecologist: a Sergio Leone shootout! The visits at the grave: Four Sons of Katie Elder! The village - no contradiction, please! - is in effect a mexican one! But I suppose, that there had never been a Cinemascope movie with such a treasure of excentric, magic and witty ideas! By the way, the speed of action is influences by Emir Kusturica... The girl is really cute.. And a great comedy talent!
