Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2010)

A Movie that is so stoic and with such an incredibly cold and detached feeling that the few emotional moments it provides are as satisfying as a glass of French wine after a hard day of labor in the fields, under a hellish sun. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Movie whose poignancy pierces your heart like a sword in the skin making your mind still bleeding when remembering the most devastating scenes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Movie with a score that will hypnotize your ears and make your soul plunge into the screen, to be forever impregnated with its magically mesmerizing music. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Movie masterfully constructed like a glorious and vibrant symphony, rewarding your patience with thrilling sequences including one of the best duels you'll ever see, where the thrills are driven by some silent moments so eloquent they're almost noisy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Movie whose dynamism is punctuated with several static moments, providing some intriguing, visually stunning painting-like shots, embellishing the whole story like so many beauty spots in a maiden's skin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Movie whose narration is like a poetic music accompanying the action, action which is still the most powerful measure of the character's personalities, their noble dreams, their impure motives, and sometimes both. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Movie ... one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, a movie with an impossible charm, with an exquisite and feminine delicacy in its looks, and a cool and virile strength in its heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Movie like an explosive cocktail of passion and compassion, of ambition, greed, jealousy, revenge, principles, selfishness, power, cruelty, innocence, life, love, lust, death and fear, fear of death, and death of fear like courage and bravery, a movie about beauty inspiring ugly acts, about innocent sensuality, about nobility in the paper and nobility in the heart ... a movie about the paradox of our dehumanizing humanity ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Movie that will challenge your emotions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Movie so slow I wish it was 'slower' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
