REVIEWS
”the greatest experimental film I have ever seen. Such an edge of your seat mystery that keeps you guessing at every turn. There are not many directors that could bring something like this to life” (Olympus Film Festival judges on Platonic)

“A complex cinematographic experiment [which] contains a series of [...] symbolic elements that create correspondences with oriental spirituality or ancient philosophy [in a way that] would be useless to [fully] examine here since its magnetic atmosphere is implicitly fed by the intertextual symbiosis of these components. It is quite difficult to sum up the epic consistency of this project” (The Monthly Film Festival on Platonic)
