This is the most awesome "time-travel movie" I've ever seen... Watch it without spoilers, it's just a lot of surprises. The pastoral and classical in the first half, and the detachment and mystery in the second half, I can only secretly exclaim what the hell is this script written by others! Lazaro's people are a bit like Huang Xuan in Fanghua, writing about the end of the era, about the magical reality, and about the bad luck. Lazaro provides a brand new model. The male protagonist is handsome and fit, like a walking ancient Roman statue, and the casting is excellent. I love Hirokazu Koreeda, but it is puzzling that Lazaro's brilliant work lost to Hirokazu Koreeda's mediocre work in Cannes. The poster is so beautiful, I love it.

It's a bit like a high-scoring composition for the film festival exam. The first half of the story reminds me of "Underground", the second half of "Song of the Wanderer", and of course the legacy of a lot of Italian films... But the male lead is really good.

Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: He who knows himself well is humbled in his own presence. And the praise of other men provokes no pleasure. If I were to know everything in the universe and scorned the charity who would bring me the grace of God? Who would judge my actions? One should go beyond the thirst for knowledge that is the root of distraction and disappointment.
