I like the "pseudo-religiosity" of it as well. The two-dimentional appearance of the subjects, the halos, and the shapes of the figures remind me of Orthodox icons. It's a kind of weird marriage of mysticism with the "Triplets of Bellville."
wow, now that you guys mention it, i see what it was i was drawn to but was unable to articulate. powerful. and yeah, i totally see the triplets thing pneter. such a great film. (my favorite character in that was the floppy french waiter in the cafe). priceless.
