Beautiful Film

Stories, music, cinematography, acting, etc. The first time I watched it I picked it up half way through on IFC about 1 year ago and had no idea what was going on. I loved Emma Thompson so wanted to try again so watched it closely from start to finish today. There is a lot of non-verbal and physical environmental messages, especially in the beginning so you have to watch it closely. I also had some trouble with understanding some of the dialogue but the human stories came through so well, that I wasn't even aware of missing the actual dialogue.
