Felt like a drag

...But the ending was perfect and made the movie great indeed. To the sound of The Lamb, Elisa's so innocent smile when she, well flashed, Jep was so *beep* beautiful, nostalgic and pure. The movie truly reveals itself when it turns out that her close up is last thing you see before the credits. So bittersweet and nostalgic. She was always there through out the entire movie (or at least what she represented was), though her actual screentime was more than limited.

The nostalgia in her, their romance, their innocent and purity (and I don't mean sexually) was The Great Beauty.
