A portrait of Bruges as a chain of narrative sequences which link the town's history to captured moments of the present day. Boustani manages brilliantly to merge enactments against a historical backcloth with animations of old paintings with— historical views of Bruges. Skilful electronic collage fuses the real footage with the artistic structures, developing these historical views into three-dimensional stage settings. The poetically devised sequences flow easily together, invoking the dreamlike atmosphere of a journey through time.
