Quote:

Magical realism and comic confusion blend in a startling film about visions and expectations. Amid the debris of a Colombian cyclone lands A VERY OLD MAN WITH ENORMOUS WINGS whose seemingly miraculous anatomy attracts the curious and devout from around the world. Silent and disheveled, this fantastical "creature" is housed in a chicken coop as his hosts and the onlookers wait for his heavenly message which turns out to be a very mixed blessing.

"Gabriel Garcia Marquez' story A VERY OLD MAN WITH ENORMOUS WINGS springs to life in the colorful, gently sardonic hands of Argentine helmer Fernando Birri." -Variety

"Improbably splendid moments... it mixes fantasy and reality with aplomb." -City Paper
