This film is absolutely stunning in its beauty and grandeur. The script is wonderfully biting, and the philosphical overtones make it that much more interesting. One of the keys to the greatest films are their memorable scenes. Well, one of the most unforgettable scenes I've ever experienced is when Baptiste first speaks to defend Garance, and then mimes the scene for the police. It, like many other scenes, was awe inspiring and thought provoking. The characters were all interesting and sophisticated, and the actors/actresses played them beautifully and naturally. To put it into perspective for those who are thinking of seeing it : imagine if Ingmar Bergman had gotten hold of the script for Gone With the Wind. Simply amazing.
