A happy medium between sweet and excellent

Rating: 9/10 (8 December 2002)

Not since Frederich Nietzsche proclaimed "God is Dead" have the petty bourgeoise in German/central-Europe felt so much fear and trembling. Folks nihilism is nothing to frightened of...and this movie is a perfect example. When Rory Cochrane says "I wish that I was born blind so that I could look upon your face but once and spit in the wrong direction" you know that it ain't no jive talking. Everyone else is excellent. When I comb my hair it creates a natural pompadour similar to Rex Manning, who has a sort of priggish charm. Pat Nebetar reprises her role as Pat Benetar while the rest of the cast fawns nervoulsly and Liv Tyler looks good. True that.
9/10 An excellent film.
