Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

A little myth, a little magic, folklore and folksongs combine in this story of an Indian Pied Piper's visit to a small village, and the dusty band of children he befriends there. Though sometimes slow, what makes the film so beguiling is its conviction and lack of condescension in depicting a world where fact and fantasy collide.
