PURE BRILLIANCE, 21 May 2003
10/10
Author: E.B. Hughes (ebh) from United States

Perhaps the last reviewer simply didn't get this deep emotional film. This won top awards at Cannes. Simply a great piece of art, with incredible acting, beautifully detailed direction, and glorious photography. Shame on shallow reviewers who need to school themselves in the fine art of filmmaking.
