This was a memorable film experience.

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 1998)

I find it fascinating to read people's comments about this film - it seems to engender strong feelings: some really like it whilst others find it overrated. I think this one of the reasons why it represents such a powerful and effective film is because it draws so successfully on one's emotions. I personally loved this film. It contains all the elements necessary to make it memorable: a good story, great cinematography and music, interesting characters, a bit of mystery in the storytelling, and I liked all the actors. I thought about the film long after the event. What more can one want?
