One of the best independent films I have seen in years.
This film succeeds where many fail because of the well-rounded qualities of all its contributions. The screenplay is well crafted and the story moves at a comfortable pace, neither too slow nor too fast while humorous moments abound.
The performances are uniformly excellent and it's hard to single out any performer but I particularly enjoyed Jaime Gomez in the lead, Stacy Haiduk as the flighty Hungarian Princess as well as Zach Galligan as the third leg of the romantic triangle.
The look of the film is awesome, especially for an independent film. The director, Vincent Miller and Adrian Rudomin, his DP, eschewed the boring, ugly flat look of many indies in favor of a layered, rich look that it properly amazing.
The music is also first rate, from an evocative score, to great Jazz source pieces by Leo Marchildon and a beautiful re-recording of the classic "Te Amo".
It's a film that you'll want to see again and again (just a note so you know there are defective DVDs around - insist on getting the right one and you'll be richly rewarded with the great picture and sound).
