This film was so good I wiped half the video tapes I had recorded from the television the same week because I knew they would appear worthless next to such a masterpiece.
The acting, the story and the beautiful camera work all contributed to this most touching of stories. A painting of a landscape with just the right touches of characterful colour in it, with enough reality to make the picture recognisable as a place we know, or that we would like to know.
Anyone who does not appreciate this film properly is either too young to have drawn breath from the usual menu of violence and over-mannered "acting" or they live life entirely on the surface.
