Surrealist Update
"Much needed look at Carrington's movement into Mexico. Beautifully and imaginatively shot film about one of the best-known surrealist women. Especially notable is her metamorphosis into a hyena. It is too bad that her art as well as that of Remedios Varo isn't shown but that doesn't deter from the elegance of this film...."
