This movie is not for those who only like high-paced films full of explosions, sex and cruelty.
The story is at times unclear, the acting often overdone and the plot totally unlikely, but I found the movie *very* enjoyable!
The music, the subtle humor, the creative way of shooting it (the camera's point of view often low and unexpected) - they all make it a movie worth seeing. The music will stay in your mind, the images of the humorous bassoon and other instruments too. The main character, a young boy, does a great job of acting.
I am glad people have done the effort to rescue the film from oblivion.
