Exquisite film making on multiple levels

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 1999)

Given that other users have commented on the ending of this film let me make my own personal observation that even without the "finale" I would consider this a great piece of film making. Rare is the film that actually can inspire thought provoking chills days after viewing and even rarer one that also provides moments of legitimate emotional heartbreak and longing. I can't remember a film in which I have felt both the chill of true terror as well as the tears of sadness through the eyes of the protagonist. In fact, in some ways this film could even be classified as a great romance and the ending just becomes a wonderful conclusion to an already fascinating film. Highly recommended! 10/10
