A wonderful movie with many layers of meaning, 27 November 1998
Author: Guruka Singh Khalsa from Santa Fe, New Mexico

This is definitely the best thing Bridgit Fonda has ever done. Claire Peploe's little masterpiece was not appreciated by most critics, but I absolutely loved it. It's a film about magic. All the different levels and layers of magic - from stage illusion to multiple levels of reality and spiritual experience, to the magic of love. All the different levels and layers of magic are intertwined - woven together so that magic is a part of daily life. The film is witty, surprising, challenging and, above all, lots of fun. Now that it's out on video, don't miss it!
