I saw this for the first time today, and I am totally blown away! So much so that I will actually go on opening day and watch it. It opens on December 29th here in the states.
Wow. Looks great (though I'd rather the trailer gave some dialogue than gone with the overbearing score)
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner
I haven't seen the trailer (nor do I want to - I find trailers give too much away) but I saw a poster and thought it seemed interesting. My gf agrees, so we'll probably see it.
Ah, that explains it. Still, I thought the music was overbearing.

Come visit your American friends! I'm sure that someone would be happy to go to the movie with you.
