...Henze led rehearsals last week-singing to illustrate his intentions, explaining why parts were written as they were, identifying errors in the printed score-it was clear that he was learning too.

For those who like an elemental western with galvanic gestures, a twanging score full of jew's-harps and choral chanting, and a lofty disdain for sense and authenticity, the film will be ideal...
