A Story That Has The Tendency To Stay With You Through The Years

This film is so unique. So deep. So odd, you cannot help but love it. I have been searching for it for years. I will never forget it again. These tow actors are exquisite in this film and the storyline, well, it goes into your deepest place and lives there. I adored it. And a floating glass love nest is beyond what most of us can even imagine let alone adore. Please let me know your feelings after you have seen this film. I need to know there are others on earth who love it as i do...I need to know that my taste is not so unusual as to set me apart from the majority of movie fans...but then again, I really do not care. I am a Tim Burton lover, so that about says it...don't you think?
