Breathtaking, 14 April 2000
8/10
Author: Mark Darby from Walldorf, Germany

The first time I saw this film, I was in shock for days afterwards. Its painstaking and absorbing treatment of the subject holds the attention, helped by good acting and some really intriguing music. The ending, quite simply, had me gasping. First rate!
