An amazingly good movie

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2006)

Great movie. Of course, it is not the blockbuster type, so don't expect sword fights, kung-fu, battle scenes, extended sex scenes, and so on. Now that you got that off your mind, here's what the movie does have. Despite the mostly unfamiliar, at least to me, cast, the acting is great. The dialogs match the quality of the acting, and don't get me started on the script. The settings, the soundtrack, the lightning, all create the atmosphere of the time portrayed. If you like movies that make you think and not just watch the pretty special effects, if you like plot twists, you'll love this. If you missed it in theaters, get it on DVD, I know I will. And remember, everything is just an illusion.
