"These images mesh and clash in a vast mental space that’s defined by the film’s mosaic-like editing. (No other recent film has as intricate and original an editing scheme.) The characters’ lines of dialogue are spoken, most often in voice-over, holding the narrative together and pushing it ahead while allowing the images to flow in an associative freedom that makes almost all other movies look, by comparison, like the stodgiest vestiges of filmed theatre".

Boots that trudged from track to track Worn down to the sole
One road is paved in gold One road is just a road

For Mercy has a human heart;
Pity, a human face;
And Love, the human form divine:
And Peace the human dress.

Then every man, of every clime,
That prays in his distress,
Prays to the human form divine:
Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace.

And all must love the human form
