almost poetic

Rating: 9/10 (23 March 2003)

what an amazing movie. Truly the millenniums first classic slice of great cinema. This is as life defining, and as life altering as the fantastic dead poet's society. The film is wonderfully shot, and directed. Full of colour and jaw dropping gorgeousness. The movies score ranks as one of the most beautiful in film history. With it's quiet, sparkly piano's and echoey spooky synths. All the actors give great performances, most notably wes bentley, chris cooper, and of course kevin spacey. And the script, by alan ball, is precise and incredibly knowing of life's small but memorable moments. Put it all in a pot and you have a piece of art that can never be reapeated by anyone,anywhere ever.
