A haunting poetic warning

This film is not for the weak-hearted, ignorant, or easily-offended. This film is very complicated and emotional and took me on an experience I have not had since perhaps seeing Do the Right Thing originally in 1990 or Breaking The Waves in 1996.

It has become an instant favorite. It was an edifying experience and in light of our times - growing racial problems in Berlin, the War in the Middle East, and few attention on true spiritual growth - I hope more people will take the time to see this film.

It was very long and was extremely slow at moments - but it fit into the overall picture. There was a lot of dialogue and interesting momenty of thinking and talking about problems and race.

Excellent movie!
