A dizzying, stunning achievement, an unforgettable dance of demonization and regret. A rare privilege of a film.

Sally Potter has achieved a work that sings to us -- sensually, angrily, and beautifully.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 27, 2007

Your taste in movies may not be/ Quite so highbrow or so twee/ But Potter has a lot to say/ About the troubles of our day.
