There are not enough words to describe this truly phenomenal movie. I had watched this way back when and knew that if it were an American film, it would be nominated and no doubt win, Best Picture. To my surprise, it was and it did. I was elated because it is a human story told in human terms with a deep understanding of the human psyche. This story is relatable if ever you were ever marginalized or barely making it and you KNEW you were smarter than them. It is a fantastic story of human tragedy and to a degree human redemption.
