It's a great foreign film to watch at home. It suprised me with the subtle humor regarding sexual discoveries among the main character as he is going through puberty during his adolescent years. The writing of the film (basing myself from the available subtitles) was simplistic, sometimes corny, but the expressions conveyed enough to carry the movie through...The movie is slow-paced and quite of bit of pensive, no-dialogue, moments that could have been filled with some dialogue, e.g. the movie could have a stream-of-conscious approach to know the thoughts of the character, or to compliment his vivid stares of curiosity into women's breasts and vaginas in the many bathhouse scenes.It's a fun movie to watch on a rainy day...I liked it.
