Quotes:
White Soldier: You okay, madame?
Death: Me?
White Soldier: Something bothering you?
Death: You know why I like young people?
White Soldier: Because they're young?
Death: Because it's such a challenge. There's such a strong will to resist me. I mean some of them pretend I don't even exist for them. So I wait patiently for time to pass. Usually they give in and embrace me.
White Soldier: Unless there's a war or a plague or something.
Death: Exactly. Still I feel heartbroken taking away the young ones. I mean, they make such beautiful plans for their lives you know? They're always asking me, who gets to decide who stays longer and who has to go, but... that's not my business.

This can be art, but it´s not entertainment, 17 August 2002
5/10

I did not like the movie. It was a very promising one but I think it got out of the hands of writer/director. It could well be that writer director wanted to do exactly that, in that case I would say that writer director was not very well seasoned at that time.

Maybe the next one come out better than this one. Acting was very good, script very poor. Alas, it could have been a minor classic...
