[edit] Quotes

" ...Largely dialogue-free, the pic shuns histrionics, instead generating its gathering emotional force via carefully crafted images and sharp editing… a strong calling card for debutante Eric Nazarian.” –Variety

“Nazarian demonstrates an uncanny affinity for the language of cinema. …this is clearly another filmmaker to watch out for in the coming years. ..like the late Cassavetes, Nazarian demonstrates an uncanny ability to compose the most striking images and memorable performances on a shoe string budget.” -Turin Film Festival, 2007

“Eric Nazarian’s work is a film of the senses. The film speaks almost without words, replacing them with a colorful cinematic language well adapted to the four different stories told which form a unity in a very natural way.” –European Network of Young Cinema
