"My two favorite cities have a storied and contentious history, richly documented in this terrific study. Sparks fly and, meanwhile, Christianity sweeps in and transforms the world in a few short hundred years. Fascinating."

"I like Alphaville a lot, by Godard. Lemmy Caution — I love that guy. That actor [Eddie Constantine], I could watch him all the time. That’s probably one of my favorite performances in a movie."

"This adaptation of one of my favorite novels is hilarious, sweeping, exuberant and nearly perfect, because Sally Potter uses her cinema the same way Woolf used words: playfully, swoon-worthily, sharp as a tack."

What a beautiful film. This is definitely my second favorite Miyazaki film. What an enchanting story and such a love-letter to the films of the second World War. I highly recommend this film!!
