Best film I have seen in a long while...

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 2006)

I loved it. I will be watching it again. It was really a great film, once again demonstrating the power of smaller budgets, good casting, and great stories.
Its a love story, a mystery, and sort of a supernatural thriller all in one where each is done very well. The movie has a very interesting visual style, and engaging plot ( yes a plot! ), the story was well told and the casting / acting just makes this a perfect "10" for me.
Its hard to categorize this movie. Its is love story of star crossed lovers who struggle to reach their ultimate destiny, it is a mystery, and a parable about power and its abuses.
( And, as a side note, its is great to see Paul Giamatti used so well after the disaster of Lady in the Water. Let there be no mistake, this was a FAR BETTER movie in every way possible. )
