    hard to describe this movie as it isn't anything you have seen before. shot in complete 35mm b/w and an unusual concept of violence (without actually one), it's hard not to notice the fresh perspectives of foreign cinema. Watch out for Brad Pitt's ...(read more)remake of the same.

    Don't rent this film if you believe clapping your hands will bring Tink back from the brink ... It's a FOREIGN film. For many USA viewers it'll be like eavesdropping on a conversation where they don't really like the conversants and care less for the topic. If you don't fit in that catagory then this film will give you plenty to talk about. Ergo: what does a society do for leisure activities when all "value" is purely monetary? When the choices come to toleration of existence or living a life? What is the essential nature of Gambling? Oh, wait, you thought it was Vegas? and Dance Marathons were a 30's thing?

    Intriguing. I love an unpredictable movie. Better than I expected.
