one the most beautiful film i saw in the last fifteen year and together with burnt by the sun from mikhalkof and the piano from campion and heavenly creature by jackson . it film in a very artistic and original way and quite a perfect fusion between independent or innovative and classical or stylish style . like if polansky and cronenberg and bertolucci and spielberg and annaud be make one . kubrick influence be noticeable too and in the very quiet way of film that give this surrealistic feeling to trivial event . it incredible to feel so close and so empathetic to character so different from u . i be very moved and fascinate at the time . i would recommend it to anyone who like unique movie and and it can be watch with pleasure by anyone who not the technolywood kind ( cameron and emmerich fan and stay away from this one and you would be bore to death . ) i would like to see more from this director .
