The Ninth Heart - Review
The beauty of this film is that it looks and feels like a child dreaming up a fairy tale and then explaining it to an adult. It's a very lush word and I mostly enjoyed it.
The biggest issue for me might be that, not unlike the first time I watched Born of Fire (1987), I was actually pretty tired and fairly comfy and the movie is a little slower and so I could feel myself dozing off to a dreamland of my own.
A rewatch in a more awakened state is in order.
