One of the best films I've ever seen. Don't see it.

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 1999)

No film has ever moved me the way this movie did (except, perhaps, Kurosawa's Ikiru). Since I judge art (and film) by how moved I am, I would call this one of the best films I have ever seen. I have never cried so long and so hard about anything, real or fictional. That said, DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE! Once you've seen it, you can never go back. The feeling of despair stays with you forever. There is no hope in this film. It's all pain. If I had never seen this movie, I would be a happier person. I'm just trying to save everyone else. Run away and hide!
