A unique and beautiful movie

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2001)

Never have I seen a movie that has borrowed so much, with borrowed songs, a borrowed plot, borrowed settings, and borrowed dialogue, and yet been so original. You really have to see this movie to believe it, because the more someone attempts to describe it the more stupid the movie will sound. There is no way on Earth that this movie should have succeeded. If I had read the script or a plot outline I would have assumed that it would go down in history as one of the worst bombs of all time, but somehow this movie manages to pull off what should have been impossible. The music, the acting, the sets, and the directing were all wonderful, and it is one of those rare movies that you cant get out of your mind. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone, even if just for the unique experience alone.
