88Feels like an old-fashioned movie in the way it deals with bold sacrifices made in the name of love, while its setting and chary view of the era's political machinations mark it as distinctly modern.
-
88The movie that deserved to win the Oscar for foreign-language film, and one of the best movies ever made about life behind the Iron Curtain.
-
60Packed with melodrama, and often it works in the passionate, easy-to-watch manner of an old-fashioned "woman's film."
