Absolute pure genius and one of the best films I've ever seen!

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2012)

This is one of the best films I've ever seen. It's a true piece of art, with a story that drips with moving intense emotion, stellar acting, and visuals that hit hard just like the story. This is one of those films that during/long after will have you looking at your own life, existence, mortality, and choices in life. If there is one movie anyone has to see this year then this is it. Apparently this was one of the most expensive films in Belgium's history (60 million or so). This fact makes me think about how many current films spend far more, and are absolute garbage (A point I obviously don't have to point out, however nevertheless feel compelled to do so.). Ultimately I just hope that this amazing director (Jaco Van Dormael) has another chance, hopefully sometime very soon, to get another opportunity to let his true creative genius shine.
