Pop P @Poppy611 Apr 30, 2026 Brilliant and unusual. A classic on multiple levels See more Jim N @RT88410809 Feb 18, 2026 Every haunted and holy and haloed and hallowed alcoholic will find a sounding resonance in this sparse and distinctly European film, directed by the man who made 'The Tree of Wooden Clogs'. The focal role here is depicted by the pellucid-eyed and beguiling Rutger Hauer, whose career should have comprised superior roles than it did. This, however, is one of those superior roles. (Review by Jim Newcombe) See more S R @ScottR Feb 18, 2024 I had been wanting to see this for some time since my friend sent it to me with a bunch of movies, but I needed subtitles and never watched it. I finally tackled it though. A thought provoking movie about miracles and God's involvement in a person's life. Sadly it sometimes fell flat or felt fake. I loved the Paris side of things, showing my places and culture. RUS See more Jun 7, 2019 Rutger Hauer's greatest performance ever. See more Jan 2, 2018 One of these movies you would capture onto an indestructibe DVD or enduring media and launch into space as one of the hallmarks of our species. Shot in a timeless Paris the movie is magical and deals with most aspects of the human conditions: honesty, truth, childhood frienship, love, betrayal, survival, innocence and most of all hope. Rutger Hauer approached this role with great honesty and purpose and his performance is both modest and masterful. See more Jan 4, 2013 I love this film. I haven't seen it for years and remember seeing it late at night / early hours of the morning and scenes have stayed with me for years. It's slow but it is stunningly performed by Rutger Hauer.
