Last night, I was at the Nova Cinema in Carlton, and the queue to see it was, understandably, longer than I'd ever seen. I thought it was visually stunning. Storytelling was simple, yet powerful. And the direction was amazing, capturing the love, longing, heartbreak and hopelessness which emerge in the central characters. And, in spite of any political or cultural undercurrent which may or may not motivate people's opinions of this piece, there is still a powerful, moving story at the centre of the film which carries it home.
