Ok you can’t not love a smirking jake gyllenhaal and the beautiful, shameless overuse of slow motion

PS what if Satan was Jesus and Jesus was Satan all along O.o

Beautiful camera work and colors and set. Acting is a little bit over the top, but hey, all to fit the theatrical theme, no?

Absolutely love the ending twist.

Yes, this is a socialist era film and is quite propagandistic, but I want to show this film to my children one day.

The songs are so beautiful, and there is romance without ever escalating to Hollywood romance - instead, what the film focuses more on is the maturation of a woman, and her awakening to broader social problems. 

Always going to be a dear film in my heart.
