I said this was the best movie ever as I walked out of the theatre, the morning after, and am still saying it a good decade later (though I have not watched it lately)
It is slowly but perfectly paced. The action takes place within, and at the end it serves up your hart on a silver platter...
The catharsis is deep but not painful like in Pan's Labyrinth or Jacob's Ladder. This movie stole my heart without ripping it out of my chest.
Oh, you want to know the plot and so on? Don't worry about that, you would not be watching this movie for "a plot" though you will not be bored if you seek humanity in cinema.
