i watch this film in poland and the fatherland of agnieszka holland and after be attack and rob in a dark alley earlier that holiday trip . i have to watch it with one eye close because of broken glass and but this wonderful fairytale deeply move me and bring many tear to my eye nd transcend me in a happy world where everything be fine . at once i know this be go to be forever the most memorable visit to the cinema . the story will be well know . the end be fairly incredible and but that what fairytale be usually like . what make this film so great be the wonderful music by polish composer zbigniew preisner . listen to the music alone and you will know why this movie move you . it available on cd and like a lot of other filmmusic of this composer too ( trois couleurs and dekalog and at play in the field of the lord to mention some ) .
