Balletic and graceful, both the cinematics and script

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2001)

Films like this are a joy to behold, creating a rare piece of delicate beauty in a medium that has become saturated with mindless tedium. The script is wonderful and manages to be erotic in places whilst maintaining the dignity of the characters. It's a film that you simply can't explain to people who haven't seen it because some of the events and situations are too incredulous when taken out of context. Ang Lee has managed to convey this moving story in a totally palatable style, I was truly left gaping at this masterpiece. Having been a fan of the Action/Sci-Fi genre for so many years, this was as painless a transition as I could hope to make.
