Totally agree. There's a very powerful and distinct kind of atmosphere to the whole film. The setting, the colors, the way it's shot, I don't really know how to explain it.
I love the slow-motion scene with "Head Over Heels" by Tears for Fears, too. The whole soundtrack is killer, both the song selection and the original score by Michael Andrews.
How ya doing, buddy?
