07/04/2010 I wouldn't say that this film is bad neither good, but I would say that it is a nice entertaining film. It is not a silly film, it's just that I am a little bit tired of the same fucking love conflicts. See more 05/03/2009 It's really not a bad film, but I kinda missed the point of the film. See more 01/08/2009 2004 Seattle International Film Festival See more 01/11/2008 A melhor coisa do filme é a fotografia imitando fotos antigas, na parte dos anos 80. A trilha sonora é interessante de um ponto de vista antropológico/histórico. Além desses aspectos, nada mais é interessante nesse filme. See more 12/12/2007 It's still original if you're the first one to do it well. American directors have fucked up this story many times. See more Read all reviews
