Extraordinario film fantástico que entrelaza ciertos mitos del folklore centroeuropeo con elementos propios de la narrativa gótica del siglo XVIII (E.T.A. Hoffmann, Jan Potocki...). A partir del sugestivo relato homónimo de Prosper Mérimée (sin duda su mejor cuento junto con La venus D´Ille), Majewski desarrolla una historia repleta de misterio, de una ambigüedad muy polanskiana (no sabemos si aquello que obsesiona al protagonista es real o no). Su cuidada elaboración visual y la sutil progresión del suspense logran una atmósfera de singular irrealidad, llena de ensoñaciones. Una película a reivindicar.
