Good, but nothing special

Rating: 4/10 (2 November 2000)

Moving, entertaining, funny, but falls short of being an extraordinary film. Its always nice to see a foreign film so honored by the Academy Awards, pity better works such as Luc Besson's La Femme Nikita and Betty Blue by Jean-Jacques Bieneix did not receive similar praise in the past. It will definitely not be considered a Masterwork in the future.
