Reviews for An Enchantment
"A charmer akin to such films as Jacques Rivette's Celine and Julie Go Boating, Eric Rohmer's Rendezvous in Paris, and those of Durieux's acknowledged master, Jean Cocteau." —Booklist (March 2013) "Anyone who sees art as something more than a rectangular object on a wall will be, well, enchanted. Highly recommended for all print collections." —www.LibraryJournal.com (Starred Review)
