I saw this movie in theatres in 1999. I was deeply moved by it then, and recently thought to try to buy the DVD. I couldn't recall the name, thankfully Harvey Keitel had a brief but important roll that allowed me to find it on IMDb. The taxi mans infatuation with the prostitute culminating in the ritual coining as an act of purification is stunning cinema, as well as the liberal use of color with flowers, or juices to convey emotions. The aging poet dictating his verse to the young flower girl is so full of spirit that it could be a movie unto itself. I am still disappointed there is no DVD release planned, as this film is a true pearl. You should make a point of seeing it if given the opportunity.
