Excellent, underappreciated movie. If you like that, chances are you'd enjoy "Leningrad Cowboys Go To America" as well. Check it out if you have time.

one of my fav movies, no doubt. feathers and balls drop the same, d'nt'u'know'it. tom stoppard is a weird dude, most of his plays are uninterpretable.
I saw two productions of the play long long ago. Over the top, fantastic. Stoppard's movie version seemed a bit of a let-down in comparison.
