Satisfying and hopeful

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2008)

Fookin' brrrilliant! No, seriously. I just trolled Blockbuster vids for a subject that grabbed me and this came up. I'd never heard of it before. I can't believe that! It's so great.
I was a busker throughout Europe all through the '80s, and was afraid that some movie about it might "get it all wrong." Man, this thing is as authentic as it gets. Cast, songs, ambiance, you name it. Somebody buy the crew a round!
Thanks so much for something that brought me right back in to a time and a life that was so meaningful for me. And I'm glad my wife could get a glimpse.
One more thing...
...The ending was exactly the kind that I find best in any movie. Satisfying, but not spoon- fed clarity. And no Hollywood happy-end, nor European dirge. Just one word - HOPEFUL. The best kind.
Hoskeebo!
