I agree with the previous comment, that this US masterpiece is unknown to the US viewers' (yet, it is far from being mainstream)... The sweet and sad charm of this masterpiece is haunting me from my childhood. I was of the age of Dora's brother when I saw it for the very first time, and even not being able to rate the movie, I loved everything in it (especially the story-line and the amazing music)... I tend to give it 10, but I reserve it for the movies I have yet to see... This is one of a kind movie, finding JUST RIGHT texture of the place, the circumstances, and the message... If you ask what is the Brazilian analogue of mono-no-aware mood in Zen cinema, go and see this one. Amazing!!! Love it!!!
