about cuts, tempo & characters

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2001)

The tempo in this movie shows just what most hollywood producers do wrong. Its nice to see a film that takes the time and shows long enough cuts to let the mood of this fantastic film to sink in. What a relief from the today so common "MTV-style flickering screen" kind of movies where the tempo never slow down. Its hard to put the finger on but it just is so great and refreshing to see something that doesnt feel like a hollywood production. All the klichÃ© characters you are used to are not present in this film. What a relief to see something *without* the standard american macho-hero that is divorced and has bad language and all the rest we all know all too well. Now I have said what this movie is not so I really recomend seeing it and find out what it is about. This is a really great movie! Probably a milestone in film production.
