Reception
'Variety' wrote:
"The Garden" is a beautiful film, a poem of sound and visual effects ...
Shai K. Ofir is moving in his portrayal of the pious old man, stubborn yet naive and sensitive. The dumb girl is played gracefully by American actress, Melanie Griffith".
(Victor Nord, the director) "proves to have a marvelous sense of beauty and works well with actors. ...The music by Noam Sharif gives an extra dimension." ("Variety", Wednesday, June 1, 1977/ Film reviews, page 16)
