Rating: - WARNING!!!! This price is a rip off. Go to Ebay!
I bought it for 5 bucks from Ebay, brand new. GREAT FILM.
Amazon charges effing $50 over? You would have to be insane to buy it from Amazon.
Rating: - Worth my time
I enjoyed this movie a lot, then again I think most foreign films kick ass over Hollywood stuff, they just tend to seem more real, down-to-earth. It had awesome scenery and the subtitles don't take away for the film at all. This movie has no makeup, glitz or glamor, just raw human emotion in a raw world.

I liked the movie. I do not know about the novel, but I think every piece deserves a consideration in its own right.

Rating: - One of the most amazing film I have ever seen
The atmosphere and beauty of this film is exquisite, it is off set brilliantly by the bleakness and violence of the peoples' lives in this lonely Alpine village, and Elias struggle between his love of his music and the love of Elsbeth, I know I am waxing poetic a bit, but it is worth it.
Rating: - A cut above the rest
The last time I saw a movie with an indelibly magnificent photography was in 1965. The film was "The Sound Of Music". This one raises the bar on the same level. The love story depicted on this beautiful film is unique...a tale of spoken and unspoken love and its effect. All the actors, including the "extras", are doing their parts realistically. The musical score fits like a glove to the stunning imagery. I was magically transported to this place(Echeberg) when I watched the movie !
