Sinekatalog’s take

Raúl Ruiz's four-hour epic spins a nineteenth-century web of secret identities, abandoned children and revenge from Camilo Castelo Branco's novel. Gliding camera and rich performances make it a sumptuous, labyrinthine and absorbing period masterpiece.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
