Cannes

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2001)

I saw the red carpet screening of this film at the Cannes Film Festival, with the filmmakers and cast, not knowing what it was about. I couldn't help it, after the first fight scene, I started clapping. The entire audience began applauding with me, and thereafter, the audience broke out into applause after each fight scene - it was that good. At the end of the screening, there was a standing ovation that lasted at least 15 minutes after the LAST CREDIT had FINISHED.
