It's been some time since I've seen a movie that I had the feeling I should/could/would watch again and again and again but this... I definitely will. A marvel on so many levels... the cinematography alone! And the soundtrack... and the acting. I adore this movie. It has not left my mind since I've seen it and it will be there for quite some time I think.
