A beautiful film in every way
I find very few DVDs I would own but I do have this one in my collection. I feel it's one of the most beautiful films ever made. The story is sensitive and delves into the characters' emotions which are evident by simple expressions on their faces. Much of this movie is non-verbal and that is what makes it so intriguing, much like a foreign movie. Ideas are subtle rather than blatant and "in your face." The movie assumes its audience is intelligent and able to think a little. I can understand why younger people find the film boring and slow because it's so different from the Hollywood movies being pumped out today.
