This is a very, very good movie, but it somehow left me wanting just a little more. Perhaps I just had the bar set so high for it. It deserves its 6 Oscar nominations and the likely lock for best foreign pic, but #66 (and climbing) all-time on IMDb is a bit of a stretch.But I'm not being fair. It's original and fun and intense, three adjectives which probably haven't been pulled off this well since The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
It is equal parts fantasy and real life drama, and as Roeper and Scott pointed out, the real life drama is just as compelling and the fantasy side.
