This was an incredible first film – I loved it. I had no trouble at all with reading the subtitles or staying with the story. I had to cover my eyes a few times over some gruesome violence, but aside from those few moments, I found the story to be rich and complex and the visuals stunning. I wish I could give a proper review – this film deserves it. It was excellent; even though I cried at the end, it was a complete pleasure to watch.

Yippeeeeee!!! I’ve just joined Zip.ca and ordered my first foreign film!!
I have a short list of ‘top picks’ to begin with, thanks to a brilliant and generous friend. I don’t believe I have ever watched a foreign film, but I’m most excited to view these first few (list to follow later).
I have no idea how long this DVD will take to arrive in my mailbox, but oooooo, I hope it’s soon!
