Once again a non American film gets straight to the heart of the ambiguous nature of the human condition, both in a pure form, and in the context of society.
This film touched me deeply in many ways, as a father a son and a man within a society. A society which desperately wants to appear progressive and open minded but always reverts to the safety of the hard shell of a deeply biased conservative outlook.
