An extremely sophisticated, extremely effective tear-jerker: extraordinarily beautiful, finely crafted, and unabashedly compassionate. There's not a lot of plot--or rather there are several very slender plots delicately interwoven. The delicacy, and the constant subtle irony prevent the movie's use of exceedingly improbable coincidences and relentlessly happy endings from cloying. Neat bits--the name of the bar; the world's most lovely leper colony. Don't go see this if you are looking for political or social commentary beyond the gentle, constant portrayal of the rich as shallow outsiders.
