Very good movie
How is it that 56,188 IMDB users have seen Pearl Harbor and 35,359 have seen Ace Ventura but, out of all the world's biggest film buffs, less people than live in my apartment building have seen this?!

shareProbably because the DVD was just recently released on DVD (with no publicity that I noticed) and not enough people have ever heard of it; the movie never got a general theatrical release in the USA despite all the terrific reviews, the awards and the tremendous audience reception it's won at film festivals.
I 'screened' an old, out-of-print VHS of the movie for a group of friends last year, and they loved it even although the quality of the tape wasn't great and it was dubbed -- the Criterion DVD retains the far preferable original French with English subtitles.
BTW, I wouldn't take Imdb "votes" as a measure of anything anyway. :-)
