Touching is the first word that comes to mind. de Oliveira goes to Cannes every year and delivers the best movie and doesn't get any prize. He's 93 and he still puts out more than a movie a year and what movies I must say. Stunning beauty and poetry come out of this work. This movie sees an amazing performance by Michel Piccoli; he goes right in deep into his character. Merci Beaucoup Mr De Oliveira!

Kitano at his best, the images are amazing, especially the scenes on the beach. Underneath his harshness Kitano is a poet of human feelings and a world we have forgot. The first 20 minutes are the wildest I can remember in the last 10 years of Cinema. If you understand something, look again 'cause you have not! Salute one of the best directors of the last 50 years.

Amazing! Moretti delivers one of his best movies. It's a shame many people especially in North America won't get to see it or understand it. I'm sick of the Woody Allen lookalike comments. They have nothing in common. Finally the Cannes Festival gave him the prize. Great cast for the movie and Laura Morante proves to be one of the best italian actresses and certainly a most beautiful woman. I recommend all the other Moretti movies for a better look of the changes in Italy from an intelligent and cynical point of view.
