A master piece you have chance to miss !!!
18 June 2008 | by ejderkelebekSee all my reviews

Just a few people wrote on this magnificent film. As a well educated philosopher I can only say about this film. I already said I guess. Magnficant. You want to hear from Baudlierre or From Aragon just in the case of a scene. You want cinematography. Different but soft underlying glorious lyric film. About love & life. This is it. This is the glorious film which manifests the beauty of cinema. And the grabbing of the cinema the hands of life. The setting is great. The story is great. The Music is fabulous. Characters are enormous, perfectly acted. That is a film I wanted to last for 9 hours. This film also gives you that feeling as well. A perfect master piece. Why did so few people commented on that. Find it watch it.
