Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARIO VASCO ESPECIAL

Begoña del Teso, EL DIARIO VASCO ESPECIAL

“(...) no other film is more at home in the ‘Pearls’ section than the tale, the legend, the fable of Princess Kaguya, dreamed up and created by someone who deserves our love and respect and whose filmography awakes nostalgia within us.”

Begoña del Teso, EL DIARIO VASCO ESPECIAL

“This film invites us to come and enjoy art in two-dimensional form; it offers us a visual treat and a good excuse to delve into a dreamlike, adult universe splashed with watercolour tones (...)”

Koldo Landaluze, GARA

“They have such heart, strength, and exuberance that they do not falter, the camera does not stutter, and the script does not fall out of their hands.”

Begoña del Teso, EL DIARIO VASCO ESPECIAL

Pedro Vallín, LA VANGUARDIA

“Directors Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov do the title justice and treat us to a true lesson in filmmaking.”

Víctor Esquirol, GARA

“Confirmation that Alexander Nanau is a documentary-maker in the truest sense of the word.”

Víctor Esquirol, GARA

Xabier Mendiguren Elizegi, NOTICIAS DE GIPUZKOA

“Filmed entirely in 16mm in spectacular locations (…), producer De Kersauson and director Clement Beauvais explore a modern day return to manual work through the passion of motorcycle enthusiasts who have found a unique path to a kind of fulfillment.”
