late to the party.....
just watched it last night via Netflix DVD (only just now offered that way from them) and the 1:47 playtime flew by in ten minutes or so!.....liked the moody music, though Ebert didn't like it so much in his review.....tight, to-the-point, clean, unpretentious production......fantastic cinematography.......could they have made the flotilla a little more impressive-looking??.......at most, the scenes of the "little boats" had only ten or twelve putt-putting along......very ending, of course, is a tear-jerker (in a good way)
