A wonderful movie

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2005)

I went to see this film tonight. I hoped I'd like it, but had no idea if I would or not. So dutifully paid my 10 euros or whatever it was and settled into my seat with an open mind.
Well, I loved it. It is beautifully shot, in black and white, like a Jean Cocteau film. Such a simple concept. I found it really visually rewarding. Great actors etc. Highly recommended!
It is slow in places (I mean it IS just people having coffee and cigarettes...) so if you prefer action movies with blood and gore, DON'T GO!! If, on the other hand, you like intelligent, funny, beautiful films, then off you scuttle to the cinema.
