Impressive

Rating: 9/10 (13 September 2005)

Excellent!
This is a film that may not make a lot of money in the US, because it scratches on a very delicate theme which is still a big taboo (much more so than any crime & violence; cf.CNN). It's a beautiful portrait of the social patterns around the two main characters and an excellent starting off point for any discussion on tolerance and sexuality. It's heartbreakingly sad to follow the story that leads to the destruction of two lives. Do we really have to make anybody feel miserable just because they prefer the equal sex?
Having said the obvious I must add, that the film-making as such is state of the art: the pictures/cuts are beautiful and the plot tears you smoothly along through the film without hast and never letting you go.
Go see & think.
