Don't be put off by the subtitles
Anna Hayward from Cambridgeshire, England,
18th January, 2006
I was daunted by the subtitles but I'm glad I stuck with it anyway because it was an absolute joy. Very, very funny, and very satirical - the subtitles inadvertently adding to the humour due to some overly literal translations. But a film that also conveyed feeling in a very subtle, touching way, from the housewife suffocated by domesticity, to the philandering husband terrified of losing his children, to the fierce, butch lesbian who's a sweety at heart. I particularly loved the unexpected way the worm turns in this plot - from submissive little housewife to... well, watch it and see. Great ending - I couldn't see it coming at all.
