Oasis miraculously approaches scandalous material with a superhuman charity and somehow dodges tastelessness. Employing a loose & grainy, vision of cramped urban coexistence, it details the highly unorthodox romance (it begins with an attempted rape) between a impulsive oddball and a young woman with cerebral palsy. A daring heartbreaker; few films have translated so clearly the secret language of love mostly lost on the rest of the planet.
