This movie is pure fantasy. Put it in your VCR and be taken away to another, almost, surrealistic place. While the story itself could be polished there was enough here to make it a favorite. Each actor did a really great job at epitomizing what their character stood for. However, I think the writer could have had made them more dynamic. I agree that it did end too soon without resolution. But isn't that the point...the longing? All in all, a beautifully set movie with an excellent soundtrack and terrific cast makes it worth the price of admission.
