I finally got the chance to see this movie after it was recently released on DVD. I’d been looking forward to seeing it, not least of all for the enigmatic title, supposedly referring to the weight all human bodies lose at the exact moment of death, perhaps the soul leaving the body, as suggested by one commentator I heard. Far more than just the title, almost every aspect of the film, from the acting, to the cinematography, to the absorbing narrative style make this film one of the standout movies for me of recent years.
