If you love music this will quickly become a favorite for you.
This movie is all about music. An orchestra conductor is given a second chance 30 years later and he definitely grabs it.
Life flows through this movie. You can detect how music mixes with life and how music is a part and at the same time is not a part of life.
Music lifts you beyond life.
I also liked the comedy parts. Life is tragedy and comedy and music encompasses it all.
Be advised that the director likes to play and the mixture between fantasy and real life is present throughout the whole movie.
Also, please note the gypsy who arranges the passport issue. In real life he is a member of the Romanian music band Taraf des Haidouks (http://www.myspace.com/tarafdehaidouksbandofgypsies). They have amazing music and you will also be treated with a small sample in the movie. He is one of my favorite characters in the movie and one of my favorite performers on stage.
I'm trying to find any downsides to this movie but I personally can't. The person who accompanied me to the cinema said it was too...soapy. I was just sorry I was not alone in my home...This is a movie where you meet yourself so you'd better not have witnesses.
