Beautiful film that captured my heart..., 13 September 2003
10/10
Author: Jonathan Colon (MysteryZ28) from Lincolnwood

This is a beautiful movie that captured my heart. Anne Parillaud (the most adorable, most beautiful woman in the world) character in this film is an innocent young girl who seems lost throughout the film searching for something, maybe love. This movie was supposed to be about a dwarf named Frankie when in fact it is really about a lost beautiful young woman named Bernadette searching for happiness.

A beautiful but sad movie...

This movie deserves an 8 but I give it a 10 out of 10 because I just adore Anne Parillaud and most of her work.
