I saw this for the first time today, and I am totally blown away! So much so that I will actually go on opening day and watch it. Smile

It opens on December 29th here in the states. Smile

I saw the trailer when I went to see Borat. It does look interesting.

This looks very interesting. Why have I never heard of it? I really don't live under a rock, I swear...

Wow. Looks great (though I'd rather the trailer gave some dialogue than gone with the overbearing score)

I haven't seen the trailer (nor do I want to - I find trailers give too much away) but I saw a poster and thought it seemed interesting. My gf agrees, so we'll probably see it.

Yes, it is a foreign-language film. I actually like foreign films, though. Very Happy

Ah, that explains it. Still, I thought the music was overbearing.

VERY much want to see this movie. I think it looks awesome. Could be a pretty cool period piece with fantasy elements.

Man, the visuals in the trailer are incredible. I'll definitely see this one--hopefully in the theater.

It's on limited release right now. Is it going to be released in mainstream theaters?

(never mind, supposedly wide release is Jan 19th...)

I want to see it but not sure if it is playing at all in New Zealand. It's going to be hard enought finding a theatre playing The Queen. Sad

Is this movie only in limited release? It's not showing anywhere near me. Sad
