Mesmeric, perfectly paced and utterly beautiful
6 June 2003 | by (Australia) – See all my reviews

This film won the Adelaide International Film Festival's Audience Choice Award, and for good reason.

This is beautiful story-telling; it's subtle, beautifully paced and visually magnificent. And if whoever wrote comment number one couldn't find subtext then he must have been watching a different film.

I'm hoping against hope for an Australian release in the near future.
