beautiful film, I watched it a second time in the theatre!, 19 February 2003
9/10
Author: edward dardis (eduardo10075@hotmail.com) from Vancouver Canada

It's been a couple of years since I saw, but would like to see it again. I remember it being magical. Everything works well in this film: the acting carries the film without dialogue, the color of the film (sepia) gives it a surrealistic, fairy-tale quality. Great story, focusing on saving a family-operated bathouse from evil developers. Many memorable scenes, including fooling the blind father that the place is full of customers. Another example of a film that Hollywood/USA could never make.
