Quotes:
Dinky Bossetti: From a deep, immaculate kiss she spread her two ripe, dripping limbs and then I happened.
Teacher: I beg your pardon.
Dinky Bossetti: And the moon throbbed and fought with an angry sun all that day and all that night. Until it forced me out.
Teacher: Dinky!
Dinky Bossetti: Now I scald here... alone. Touch me. With your white words and your dead hands. Now before I freeze.
Teacher: That'll be enough!
Dinky Bossetti: And become one of you.
Teacher: DINKY!

Wonderful Soundtrack!, 21 June 1999
8/10
Author: Julius-10

One of the best qualities of this film is the soundtrack. From the Soulsearching "Let the Sun Shine Through" to the frank and rythmic "If You Don't Like What You See," this film has many exceptional lyrics.
