5.0 out of 5 stars Hauntingly romantic it will make you yearn for your soulmate, November 8, 1999

By A Customer

I'm really into tragic romances right now, and this is the perfect movie! The images are clear and strikingly brilliant. The story is heart wrenching and you deffinately develop a connection with the two main characters. This is a must get, maybe when the price goes down.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most amazing film I have ever seen, November 27, 2000

By	WENDY M (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews

The atmosphere and beauty of this film is exquisite, it is off set brilliantly by the bleakness and violence of the peoples' lives in this lonely Alpine village, and Elias struggle between his love of his music and the love of Elsbeth, I know I am waxing poetic a bit, but it is worth it.

This movie kept me in a trance. I could not look away for a minute. It is one of the best films I have ever seen. The plot, the scenery, the characters, all were outstanding.
