I saw the film at a Museum of Modern Art screening last year (and later bought the Australian DVD)... it's dramatically riveting, visually spectacular and features what until now I'd been calling one of Hugo Weaving's great unsung performances. Now film critics like Roger Ebert are taking notice. If that's a bit lofty for your tastes, the AICN critic loved it too. ;)
