It's a great big phantasmagoria of all the troubles in the world, not, in my opinion, one of Mnouchkine's greater works, and very long indeed, but with four or five amazing passages. If you've not seen her work, it's definitely worth becoming familiar with her, but you have to know what you're in for -- a long, crazy, discursive piece, with as much that is unique and amazing as there is that is didactic and disappointing. Still...it's Mnouchkine, and she's one of the few true geniuses of our time.
