REVIEWS & SUMMARIES
Library Journal ReviewCOMMUNITY REVIEWS
One of the Greatest Movies on DVD you will ever see. A Masterpiece. Very Moving too.
submitted by Tassos on January 31, 2019, 9:39am
I am hard to please. I rent 10 DVDs and find 8-9 of them unwatchable. truly a pain to watch. This one is not just the one in ten that is pleasant to watch. THis is one in 100 or 1000. A TRUE MASTERPIECE. Too bad too few people read these reviews (I only discovered them myself a few weeks ago) and will not be aware of this DIVINE (in the literal sense of the word!) movie.
