A GREAT story, wonderfully told. So Gripping.

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2003)

This film is a genuinely great piece of film making. A STORY. A real cracking story, it has a sense of epic about it. The acting is superb. The direction clear. This is really gripping stuff.
This movie p***es all over Hollywood's efforts.
It makes me feel relieved to have discovered the joy of foreign cinema for myself.
One of the best cinematic experiences I've ever had.
