It's intelligent, well-acted and beautifully photographed.

Its old-fashioned romanticism is heady, and the relationships among the characters are intriguing.

It has enough opulent, oversized romanticism to make it a guilty pleasure, not to mention three attractive and appealing characters and, of course, that song.

With the Hungarian song "Gloomy Sunday" as its thematic centerpiece, this personalized story of Budapest during World War II becomes a satisfying romantic drama about four divergently different people.
