Simply one of the greatest movies I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2006)

This movie touched me in a way that very few movies have been able to. It drives to the depths of love and life using a story that is both simple and complex at the same time, allowing the viewer to discern as much or as little "meaning" as s/he desires.
The story itself is entirely believable, and the mountain setting is stunning, providing an awe-inspiring backdrop for a large part of the movie.
The acting is top-notch, the cinematography is spectacular, and the story, while tragic, resonates in a manner that I cannot put into words.
This is a movie that will stay with you long after the final credits have rolled.
