I was intrigued even from the start of the film by the appearance of the symbol itself (a beheaded rooster) that creates an atmosphere which is ominous and dark ,if Balkanic, within very light and warm images portraying the Saxon civilization from Transylvania at the beginning of WWII.
The freshness of the main cast, along with the wonderful lightness of the images and the dreamlike music, make this film of a complexity and depth that needs to be discovered and re-discovered.
I don't think it fits in any kind of trend, genre, wave, school or generation into which some people try to include it.
"The Beheaded Rooster" is simply a wonderful film.
