I just saw the film tonight. Simply put, it's amazing. Extraordinary style and direction, great music, great performances, extremely powerful scenes, beautiful women, very funny at times and great intermingling of various themes including the power of imagination and memory and digging deep to find the "human inside you". Hard to watch, however, meaning it has very little replay value as far as the story is concerned (studying its technique is a different story), some scenes drag by just a tad and the presence of Miramax was felt which makes me understand why it wasn't nominated for Best Foreign Film. Extremely minor complaints compared to what it has going for it. As for its nominations, It shouldn't win anything apart from Film Editing and Directing. Then again, the Directing category this year is immensly hard to judge as to who deserves it most because you have Anderson and the Coens with spectacularly directed films. If i was forced to put them in order it would be, 1. Anderson 2. Schnabel 3. Coens. This film is really that good. Watch it now if it's still in a theater near you, you won't be disappointed. 9/10 [4 1/2 stars out of 5]
