What a beautiful film.

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2001)

This film is absolutely one of the most beautiful I've seen in quite a long time. The characters are well-crafted, the plot will mean many different things to many people, the cinematography is top-notch, and the choreography is often breathtaking. At the end of the film I was poised perfectly between satiation derived from the richness of the plot and deep craving for more. Hours afterward, now, I am deeply satisfied, and my mind has been working through the film's layers, discovering new meanings with each successive consideration. When I stop considering the various other aspects of this film I'll simply remember the scenery.
I predict anyone who sees this film will enjoy it.
