I just saw this movie last weekend, and highly recommend it. The style
of the movie, and parts of the plot, are strongly reminiscent of a
movie I saw a few years back called 'Phantom of the Open Hearth'. In
fact, the sequence with the tacky lamp seems to have been lifted
directly from the previous movie. Has anyone else noticed this? Are
the directors or script writers of the two movies the same?
