The Emperor's New Clothes (2001)
WOW! What a movie!

I saw the trailer for The Emperor's New Clothes a few years ago, but it had such a short release in the theatres that I missed it when it came out. Thankfully, my local video store has finally purchased a copy that I could rent and take home to watch.
I was expecting a slapstick comedy. Far from it. Instead, I found a wonderfully subtle comedy/drama with an entertaining and intriguing plot along with excellent acting, direction, and cinematography. I was mesmerized from the very beginning of the film and it should have received a couple of Oscar nominations, including Best Picture as well as Best Actor for Ian Holm.
