I love this film but I wonder how it would play without the narration. Was the narrator really that important? Sure she gave us nice information about the culture but I think the film would have been much more poetic if it had no narration. Anyone else agree?

No, I don't agree. As I just wrote in another thread, the narration is the girl's voice musing on these events in retrospect. This gives the entire film a stylized, dream-like feel of a fleeting childhood era now gone. Such a feeling is crucial to film's theme of birth, death and re-birth.

Trying to watch this now and I can't stand the narrator's dry voice. It detracts from it for me.
shareJust came here to say the exact same thing. The firework scene especially would have been much more meaningful if we had been able to make our own interpretations of the children's evening as opposed to being told exactly what's going through their heads.
