- A lovely romance. Zulaswski's brilliance here is to take what is essentially a soap opera (and a pretty rich one at that) and transform it into something profoundly beautiful. The efforts of a great underdog cast, the manic cinematography of Ricardo Aronovich, and the heart-rending score of Georges Delerue all go a long way toward helping.
