It's one of my favorite movies, alongside with City of God, Emperor and Assassin, etc. And I don't know exactly why.
Well, it's not a masterpiece. But there's something what intrigued me very much.
First of all, this movie is (about) a journey. It's amazing journey of a cynical modern man. Journey to the childhood, the family, humanity, truth.
Second thing, which I very like in this movie, is atmosphere. There's something of "magic realism" of Africa/Latin America definitely.
When i visit IMDb, I was really surprised, how underrated is this movie. Maybe it's because the actors?
