rarely do a film capture such intense drama and emotion . what make this film so unsettling be that the drama feel so real and it almost hard to remember that it only a movie . this be by far madeline stowe and alan rickman performance of their career . the film almost feel like a theatrical production the way it be stag and light . the only bad thing about this movie be that it very difficult to get a copy of it . i have yet to see it other than on laserdisc . this truly powerful film deserve a digitally remastered transfer and special edition treatment on dvd . it really be that good .
