Stunning in every way

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 1999)

This movie is truly an essay in superlatives: the acting, story-line, direction, special effects, sound effects, music, editing, and overall feel of the film are all stunning. There are so many arcane mythological references that even Umberto Eco would have difficulty in understanding all of them. You have to concentrate while watching, but the experience is unforgettable. All people with an open mind must see this movie, preferably on the big screen.
