Another masterpiece in cinematography without doubt, if you have seen, enjoyed and understood "out of Africa", "English Patient", "Titanic" and even somewhat "Sweeny Todd" then you will enjoy the craft of filmmaking where attention is asked in all aspects such as music, dialog, and photography. I think that more mature generation will understand the story in this film as the younger generation might have some difficulties to follow the understanding of these characters' feelings. European filmmaking is not just for entertainment but also for an after thought, enjoy another tragic love story, and have ev. a hanky ready, I loved it! JamesMcAvoy is not shy to show that also men have feelings!
