Ambiguity makes Natalia pulse a bit, and makes her good intentions less annoying than they might have been.

Turturro, by conveying his character's painful, ecstatic inwardness, creates a bond of sympathy with the audience.

Because it's Torturro finally having the first place in a movie... Because he's just brilliant... Because his character's is doomed with intelligence and social fracture...

One of the few romance movies I REally Love

If you were to think of it as a Merchant Ivory remake of A Beautiful Mind you wouldn't be far wrong. This is an atmospheric costume drama. It makes interesting use of flashbacks and these combine with fine performances to give a real feeling of being transported. As a whole it has a finely judged disturbing and disoriented atmosphere.
