“A film made around the subjective camera, the
vision of a child, and a re-reading of the Henry James
novel. The concern is not with reality and appearance
but the manner in which these terms come to be
constituted.” – Constance Penley
“The film is a kind of Maisie in
Wonderland.” – Ruby Rich
As Henry James said, “You still have room for
wonder at what Maisie knew.”
The film is about looking. I bet that slight variations
of few recurrent elements would encourage the viewer to
free associate and to fantasize a kind of narrative. -
