    I think this is a very dark story. I just wanted to see this because of Matthew Rhys is in it. I couldn't get their conversation because of their accent in some of the part though, it wasn't matter.

  • Comment
    I felt a little strange with this film, but it always happen anywhere. Strange thing is the situation. This is based on Tolstoy novel, and it must be written in Russian I guess, but starring were French and English. Of course I know a lot of films which had such kinds of situations, for instance, Japanese China film, Japanese American films.

  • Comment
    This film was fantastic. It happen everywhere, generally speaking it's sometimes difficult to translate into other languages, but I found a good translation and it is quite nice. Of course it's owe to Japanese vocabulary though, I like it. Actually I tried to watch this film without Japanese subtitles, but it was impossible. Scottish accent was so hard when they scream or whisper or mumble.

  • Comment
    I knew James Spader as a role of a solicitor from the Practice, American law farm drama.    And Eric Stoltz, his face was something familiar to me, but I wasn't sure, so I checked IMDb and found he was in Chicago Hope as Dr. Robert Yeats.
    The story itself was a little boring.    I won't watch this again.
