I didn't like that they introduced voodoo into the movie but it is in New Orleans and that is part of the culture so I did enjoy the movie.

"The Orphan Master's Son, by Adam Johnson. It gives you a look into the adversities and fear people are living through in North Korea. It's humbling to learn about another culture."

"I don’t always love Parajanov’s roaming camera in this movie, but he settled down from Color of Pomegranates onwards. Parajanov’s love for the folk culture is quite infectious. The way that he loves everything on screen, I relate. And the winter mummers are so mysterious. He makes this Hutsul culture come alive and it’s so exotic. Now I know a lot about Carpathian culture and Slavic folklore so the movie doesn’t have a lot of mystery to me anymore. But the first time I saw these images that I couldn’t understand, I was completely conquered because he so clearly understood them [and] they were infused with some kind of meaning that just felt essential to me."
