El cuervo negro
con sorpresa se mira a sí mismo
en el campo cubierto de nieve

[Valentín Serrano García · Rating 4 out of 5]

Grata zambullida en la interpretación de Kiarostami del poema breve "josravani" persa, aromatizado por guiños orientales y similicadencia fílmica.

Bonita edición. Por ponerle un pero, y dado que la comparación salta a los ojos en este caso, falta el ingrediente secreto que otorga el genio y originalidad que uno encuentra en los clásicos (Buson, Issa, Shiki...) y en algunos poetas minimalistas actuales (Frutos Soriano).
