I disagree with the previous reviewer about the quality of the film's photography. I think it is excellent. Evocative. And very expressive. I am impressed with the sharpness and vibrant colors of the images on screen.
The direction is intelligent and sensitive. And then, of course, there is the excellent acting from everyone. I didn't expect much from Russsell Crowe at this point in his early career but he sure knows how to make love with the camera and display a range of emotions that will soon make him a big star. A big poseur some would hastily add, but that is another story to CROWE about.
