As has been noted elsewhere,Tears For Saleis a fairy tale come to life.
If magical realism or surrealism has any appeal for you, then there will be much to enjoy.
The film that was brought most to mind was JeunetsA Very Long Engagement.
The tone and palette of the films are very similar, as are the prevalent themes within each.
The message is clear.
They would rather dance with ghosts than live in the reality they are faced with.
In a world which has robbed a country of its future, then surely anything can happen?
It looks the equal of films ten times the price.
The cinematography makes you believe in magic, and the fantastic.
Nothing seems out of the ordinary despite it quite clearly being so.
In fact, the whole thing is decidedly reminiscent of an ethereal dream experience.
This visual tone perfectly complements the narrative tone of the piece.
