i saw this movie when it first come out and i love it . each scene be as beautiful a a painting . it really evoke a mood that stay with you . everything about it be perfect and costume and photography and writing and etc . the soundtrack be great and majestic and move . i catch it a few time on tv and and it capture me again . it really do transport you to another time and place and you can feel the cold and and smell the air . lothaire bluteau be so sad and seem lose and but believe he be do the right thing . the indian sex scene be interesting and that be something that be not often depict and the freedom of their sexuality . this be one of the most beautiful movie i have ever see . i highly recommend it .
