Great story!

Rating: Null/10 (14 March 2003)

This is a story that anyone struggling against fortified traditions and paradigms can identify with. The overall mood set forth by Peter Weir ties this anthology of human landscapes together with consistency and believability. I feel the cast did a superb job and gave extraordinary performances that never upstaged their co-actors (difficult considering the caliber of the cast). In a business saturated with over zealot melodrama, high-concept film making, and flashy dialogue, this was a treat. Schulman ensured the screenplay flowed well from one story to the next and Weir helmed it properly; maintaining rhythm and an uncluttered sense of purpose of the individuals portrayed. William's character exuded intellectual and emotional superiority and he was perfect in the role of the mentoring poet of yore (Inspiring!). This film is a keeper. Thanks guys.
