Beautiful Film!, 20 June 2002
9/10
Author: JMM (mcguirejm@yahoo.com) from Jacksonville, FL

This was my favorite of the 8 films I saw at the Florida Film Festival. It is a visually stunning film with strong emotional content. Poetic interludes punctuate the story and lend to the reality of the lead character (a poet). Behind it all, is an honesty and a truth that you do not find in the majority of films.
