I'm a big fan of Johnny Depp so that's what attracted me to this DVD. I always check out prices of films I want on ebay because the prices are so good. I wasn't in any way disappointed with this purchase. It came very quickly, and is a great movie. It's now doing the rounds of all the females in my family!
film starts off in a similar atmosphere like that of the classic fiddler on the roof, small jewish community inhabiting a remote russian village is forced to exile, separating a little girl from her father. she ends up in england where she grows up in a foster home struggling to fit in, finally relocating in france in pursue of a career in entertainment, by this time there are already alarming signs of rising nazism to be seen and the fatal threat of holocaust is casting a more sinister shade to the lives of those who do not fit the arian ideals. these include jewish population just as well as the gipsy outcasts, one of whom in particular brings a romantic twist to the young heroines life, a beautiful love story which will also make this film an absolute must see for anyone who is in love with the work of mr.johnny depp or ms. christina ricci.
