Anticipation.

This director certainly has his off films, but the good ones are sensational.

Enjoyment.

And this is one of his absolute finest. Such mastery, such passion, such control.

In Retrospect.

Don't be put off by the subtitles – this is one of the great modern teen movies.

This sublime teen romance evokes the heady passions that come from choosing between love and learning.
