English Fascinating and beautiful. And yet so ordinary. I would make this film mandatory everywhere and for everyone. In schools and in retirement homes. The fact that Pictures of the Old World lay locked in a vault for 15 years says more about the mindset of those in power from the last regime than anything else. ()
