Juliette Binochet took my breath away!

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2003)

The emotional impact of this amazing first film of an even more amazing trilogy was so strong that I had to keep reminding myself to breathe. Juliette Binochet does an incredible job without much in the way of dialogue simply by using that wonderfully haunting face of hers and the director took full advantage by giving us many long caressing close ups of her.
