Slow but rewarding, beautiful!

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2004)

I have seen many movies, but very few of them managed to create such emotions in the viewer. There are certain movies that makes you feel alive because you FEEL something: sometimes we forget what we are looking for, when we watch a film- we are looking for certain feelings to be created, for certain emotions to surface again. This film is all about this and more. Indeed is a slow paced movie, indeed the characters are not so great, but even the real life is not perfect, so let's put aside all this, and enjoy it with an open minded. Romance is something that appeals a lot to filmmakers, but again, few of them manage to capture it so nice on the screen. The actors were just amazing, the score is captivating and the cinematography reminds of Antonioni. If you are `impatient' this movie is not for you, but all the rest should be able to understand this movie and appreciate it.
I watch it 3 times so far, and every time I discover new things that where not there before
Grab a bottle of nice wine, turn off the light, and let the magic of this movie surround you I give this one 9 of 10.
