simply Wonderful
I just watched this film on IFC and I can't believe it! The whole thing is just brilliant. I rarely review films because I love them so much I usually have too much to say about this or that, but I will try to keep it to a minimum:The concept is is one people have seen before: someone is in trouble, and the main character needs to save them. However, this is the best, and I mean the best interpretation of the concept I have ever seen.The direction is excellent. Everything is paced the way you want the film paced without even knowing in a conscious way that's the way it should be. In essence, the film is intuitively guided.Editing is incredible in this film. The best I have seen for a long time, and reminicient without being repetitive of films by Guy Ritchie and Quentin Terantino.Acting is marvelous here. Franka Potente not only captures amazing emotion, she is able to catch the viewer's imagination.The music is really wonderful, complimenting the movie without being intrusive.If you have read this far, I want to tell you two more things. 1)This is really the best film I have seen in quite a while. 2)I can't remember the last time I had this kind of fun watching a film.
