I believe this movie to be a great teaching material for illustrating collectivistic cultures on the extreme.
Additionally it has charming cinematography, soothing music and an authentic construct with theatre-like presentation. 4 years 6 months ago -

My wife and I watched this some time ago and it still comes back to us.
Absolutely worth your time. 4 years 11 months ago -
