impossible for a #10 rating, this is a strong #9

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2001)

everything in the film was tops; sound, video, acting; but the plot simply couldn't deliver a #10. I critique this as a #9, meaning I will gladly review it many times in the future for pure pleasure; but it can't compare with "Amadeus", "In Search of Bobby", or "By The Sword" which had overwhelming themes.
