I love Matilda and more the scene in the books, how she faces Tronchatoro, OMG. Something very peculiar in the story is how it intertwines with each of the characters, there is a very nice vision within the various factors of the plot.
On the other hand, there is that thing you hold about the direction of wholesome and strange, the story is sweet, but at the same time it has a touch of strength, something I see very peculiar and intriguing. : )
I don't think I've seen another film quite like it since. It's very unique.
