Usually the book is better than the movie and goes into greater detail; characters, etc. Not so here - this movie is wonderful - one to get wrapped up in. It is so easy to sympathsize with the characters and their feelings and emotions. Even my husband, who doesn't care for subtitles as a rule, enjoyed it very much.
