Superb Film

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2008)

I agree with the comments of Genevieve_X almost to the letter! I had never seen or heard of this film, but saw it on "Film 4" in the UK last night. The presenter gave us a quick run-down of the plot, and that, along with the blurb in the TV listings did more than enough to make me want to watch. I couldn't agree more with other contributors, that the film is a work of superb surrealism, and therefore should not be taken as literally as any similar Hollywood offerings might. All in all, the best foreign language film I have seen in a long time. I would hasten to add, that the story itself is told in a fantastically twisting, to-ing and fro-ing manner which adds to the superbly crafted atmosphere of the movie. Superb!
