...Decent Reticence. Since 1875, when a group of his farsighted neighbors bought up the small Vevey factory in which Henri Nestlé had been producing milk pap for babies, Nestlé has consistently been characterized by a rare combination of imaginative salesmanship and financial caution. With uninhibited confidence, Nestlé has made a success of peddling canned milk in dairy-rich Denmark and instant coffee in Brazil.

Charming, sick, hilarious, depressing, wise: the film is an exercise in contradiction, a clutter of inconsequence transformed by imagination as a trash heap is transformed by moonlight...
...upon hearing that Pius XII had paid tribute to his work, Barth smiled and said, "This proves the infallibility of the Pope." More seriously, he insists that the best critical work on his works-over 500 titles so far -has been done by such Catholic thinkers as French Jesuit Henri Bouillard and Father Hans Urs von Balthasar of Basel...
