It's a stunning theatrical experience, sorely compromised for home viewing. But even on a small screen with diminished visuals, the film's meticulous sound design makes it a lush and immersive pleasure.

| Original Score: B+ | May 4, 2001

Not always dramatically satisfying but fascinating and mesmerizing to watch.
