Consider the source.

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 1999)

Isn't it strange that you can tell the age of the reviewer by the tone of the review. Those bored by this movie are probably disappointed that the Grateful Dead didn't do the soundtrack. Some of these cretins wouldn't understand a Polish joke. This movie is only a moving experience for those with the maturity to accept it on its own terms, with its own time frames and symbolism. This movie is a 10. I personally prefer the epic type of movie which covers periods of time as being intrinsically moving and also technically difficult to accomplish, such as Little Big Man, Ben-Hur, Empire of the Sun.
