I've watched this movie with a critical eye, and I just cannot understand how the Motion Picture Academy overlooked this one. The acting was superb, the director called all the right shots, lighting was great, and the costumes were among the best ever. I guess they just couldn't fit this one into their busy schedule. It was made in the Czech Republic, so it could have been in the foreign film category, but I feel it should have been nominated for Best Picture. I mean why aim low when you have the caliber of this film?

For the non-film critic audience, it has many attractive actresses who simply give outstanding performances throughout. They are sensitive and caring, and really put their hearts and souls into their performances. Some worked so hard sweat literally poured from their bodies. Oh well, maybe next time.
