One of my top ten favorites despite the subtitles

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 2007)

After watching this film win multiple academy awards, it sparked my curiosity, as I had never even heard of the film. Upon watching the film, I was surprised it didn't win more. Every aspect of this movie was brilliant. The storyline, the acting, the sets, cinematography, all excellent work. This movie has it all.
I was concerned about the subtitles. Generally I try to stay away from subtitled movies because one can't look away or he might miss something important in the dialog. No worries here though... I couldn't look away from this movie anyway.
This is a must-see movie, a real gem. I've recommended it to several of my friends and co-workers, and they've all raved about it. Even the guys who seem to be cinematically apathetic have taken a strong liking to the film. The real irony of this film to me, is that its not your typical American movie. It's a nice change from Hollywood.
