Birdsong

Have you ever thought of the Three Kings’ relationship to one another while they traversed the world’s deserts in search of Christ? Albert Serra, whose previous film Honor de Cavalleria was named “one of the best 10 films of 2008” by Cahiers du Cinéma, is back with a film even more beautiful and crazy than his debut piece.  Displaying freely his own vision about the classic myth of the Nativity, the film is beautifully crafted and contemplative, with impresive views and photograph-like cinematography to satisfy the most demanding eye. This exercise about the essence of cinema holds rank with the films of major importance at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival Directors’ Fortnight. Even so, the Three Kings are so human that will make you smile.
