The film won the Best Director at Venice Film Festival 2006.

In case anyone should misconstrue my post as ... the beginning was boring. Nope, it wasnt. My intention in posting was simply to inform that: I was VERY keen on this film. And so i wanted to watch it (you could tell that I am procrastinating on other films). But I was VERY tired ... So, I am DEFINITELY going to watch it again.

PS: it is so rare that many of us happen to watch a recent film ... i.e., with all of us being located at different parts of the world ... cf. other posts, usually only 1 or 2 of us manage to catch it ...
