Boldly introduced in Telluride as `The film that will win the Best Foreign Film Oscar'., 11 October 2002
9/10
Author: tadiv-4 from Denver, CO

This movie is a great deal of fun. It also reveals the horrors, difficulties, and craziness of war. It has a wonderful, artistic look at a near-death situation that is very touching. A really great film that should not be missed.
