A true work of art - makes you both think and feel

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2006)

I was blown away by this film. It's so powerful and full of raw emotions that I can't shake it even several days later. I like it better and better.
The story develops slowly and I started out thinking that the characters were pretty unsympathetic, but all of a sudden I was 110% emotionally invested in the story which then seemed so much more powerful exactly because no idealisation had been done.
The film is tricky to read in several places and the ambiguity and the unsaid speak louder than the dialog. The attention you can feel has been paid to minute details forces you to pay attention and think both while and after you've seen the it. There's a lot to admire and notice, even on subsequent viewings.
Outstanding camera work and scenery, jaw dropping performances and a truly complex yet gripping story line.
