Of all the films that made "the cut" for my preliminary list, this is probably the most quaint and charming of the bunch. It's a quirky depiction of young love that quite likely speaks on a whole bunch of different levels, but frankly, I was too caught up in the great look and tone of the film. I would love to revisit this film at a later time to fully appreciate it. I'm not sure there's much by the way of Oscar love coming for the film, but it's definitely a winner in the "little flick that can" category.
