  SPOILER WARNING
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (It's not a huge spoiler, mind you, but personally I hate any kinds of
spoilers so much that I want to warn even about minor ones. And this is
about the very end of the movie, so if you haven't watched the movie,
please just skip reading this.)

  With "cheap trick" I don't really mean that it was *bad* per se. I just
found the very final image of the movie leaving it undecided whether that
final scene was just a dream or reality (because the movie ends just before
it becomes clear) was rather "cheap", especially after the marvelously
complex plot of the entire rest of the movie.

  Oh, and by the way: Thanks for recommending this movie (without spoilers).
Without your post I would have never figured out to go to see precisely
this movie, and it was just marvelous.

  I succeeded in going to see this movie to the theater without knowing
*anything at all* about the movie. I didn't have even the slightest idea
what the movie was about. The *only* thing I had ever seen about the movie
before actually seeing it was one movie poster, and even that just in
passing, without scrutinizing it too much.

  That's how like it. And in this case the experience was superb.
