 At a public screening of this movie during the 1999 Toronto  International Film Festival, one viewer was so upset and devastated  that he rose to his feet and shouted that he couldnt take any more,  then headed for the exit, intending to pull the fire alarm.  Tim Roth (qv), who was in attendance, intercepted him at the door,  and it took 20 minutes of intense conversation to calm the man down.
