Winsome but not frivolous fable about freedoms we envy, imagine, and maybe enjoy. Stiff at times but glides at others.

Lovely to encounter some lightness of spirit, troubled though it is, amid grim festival auteurism. Even more refreshing in its technically audacious embrace of gently surrealist impulses.
