A wonderful, poetic film

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2004)

OK, so this is not for everyone. It's long, its narrative is complex, there are at least two subplots and it is based on a difficult novel. But if you like films that make you think, that don't impose a moral code on you, that challenge you, then this is certainly a film you have to watch. It's poetry on the silver screen and a real treat for people who like their films deep in meaning and wide in scope.
