Timeless!!, 28 November 2001
10/10
Author: anton-6 from sweden

I rented this without knowing so much about it.And what I saw was a timeless masterpiece that actually was as good as "Casablanca".Both very funny and touching.

Can romance be better on film??? I don´t think so.The acting is brilliant and the cinematography is fantastic.A real masterpiece.No other film I have seen has been more romantic and funny at the same time.It´s also very beautiful. A really timeless MASTERPIECE.5/5
