Excellently executed, "pulsating" story

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2005)

I have just seen the movie yesterday. I would completely agree with the previous comment by Andrew DiMonte - I will only add a few impressions of the way the movie has been made and the moving story presented.
Everything, witch has to be said about the story, has been said by Andrew already, only the fact that the life of the characters is dramatically changed after a period of time. You would think, watching it, the film could be a straight, "easy to digest" story till the end, but it's not.
As to the technique of the movie - from my point of view, witch gathered my attention from the beginning - is that the sources of expressions are simple, I would say somewhat "rough", yet they are so reach in their meaning. The interiors, tempo of the action, even acoustic effects, shallow echos of the sounds, pauses - remind me the characteristics of theater - the climate of the scene and the special relation between actor and the audience - that's what really matters in this film.
You must see this movie. Regardless of who you are, you will find a reflection, to take back with you...
