Terrific film. Thanks, Jon.
Jon—Thanks, this is a movie I have long wanted to see, and, as I guess no one knows better than you, it is frustrating when such a movie seems impossible to find (at least, in English). Also, I am always very happy when an equally rare foreign film Oscar nominee shows up (The Ninth Circle, Arms and the Man, more recently, Paix Sur les Champs and La Venganza). I hope you keep them coming—as with all things Oscar, quality may vary, but if unseen, who can tell? Thanks again.
Thank you, Nick, I’m always looking for unreleased Oscar nominees to upload, there’s more coming soon, stay tuned!
Lovely film, great performances. Thanks Jon
