Love can be found, 14 January 2003
8/10
Author: Irina V. Passmoore (ivp@passmoore.com) from Durham, NC

Seeing this film enhanced my appreciation of life. It reminded me of Cyrano De Bergerac. A theme I enjoyed: love between rich and poor can indeed exist. And also, I also liked how beautifully love was depicted.

One's appreciation for human relations is bettered.
