Managed to get to see this last night and, thankfully, knew basically nothing about it besides it beating the fantastic White Ribbon to the Best Foreign picture Oscar. I was truly blown away. It was hilarious and touching and beautiful and affecting. I'm not going to try and go into why like I used to, I haven't the time, but it is one of those rare films that moves you into a new paradigm and stays with you long afterwards.
Wonderful.
