Great cinematography, 7 December 1999
Author: FilmActuary from Baltimore, MD

Very few films have cinematography so creative and intriguing. I could watch this film over and over again just to see the wonderful shots in it.

I'm not too impressed with the story, but it is strong enough to support the film, and make it worth watching.
