Painterly or photographical tableaux, more evocation than dramatization. The subjects, if they’re not unclothed little boys, bravely try to circulate in their classical wear. The unclothed little boys just run around. The film comes off as unnatural, sometimes a bit awkward. That can mean failure, or it can mean the brink of big advances. A very good try, and a very good thing. The “flora” procession is very pretty.
