10/10

One of the best film of 1999 Cannes Film Festival

I had the chance to see M/Other at the 1999 Cannes International Film Festival and it was clearly the best film I saw there. The plot is extremely simple, the film-making is extremely sober but I never saw a couples intimacy so well pictured. It's moving, beautiful, it's a clear 10/10.
