"The Handycam has produced its first masterpiece."
Sight and Sound raves The Garden of Earthly Delights, written and directed by Lech Majewski. Tim Lucas, editor of Video Watchdog, penned the review.
“I can think of no film since the death of Kieslowski that so masterfully encompasses so much of the faceted concreteness of life, as well as its dimensions of spiritual mystery. Despite its modest cinematographic means, the photography is often lovely and it permits extraordinary depths of intimacy to be tapped between the actors, both of whom give rich and utterly believable performances. The film’s greatest accomplishment is the warmth and humanity projected by this academic couple’s restless exchange of ideas, questions and answers pertaining to art, science, history and, finally, life and death.”
