Original and charming film with good songs...

Rating: 7/10 (7 October 2004)

To begin with, I have to confess that I found the movie a little bit strange the very first time I watched it. Too many characters, too many stories, too many relationships to follow... and then, I watched the movie for second time and I can appreciate the details, enjoy the songs, the performances, the interesting mixture of happiness, sadness and comedy... I like some stories more than others... maybe the goal is too ambitious, the theme too extensive and difficult to determine. However, the result, the film, is quite nice and the rhythm appropriate.
It's not the best movie that I have seen, but, you know, it is extremely difficult to not be moving by this beautiful picture, a faithful reflection of the society in which we live in.
7 out of 10.
