PS. Oh, and I forgot to mention that we also watched 'The Little 
Princess' and it was so obviously directed by Alfonso Cuaron! So 
artistic. The close-ups; many slow-motion shots; the details; the 
lighting. I found it interesting that there was one set in the 
orphanage which had the backdrop of a huge clock face, very much like 
in POA! He must have a thing for clocks and the time theme.
