Compelling

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2018)

This is one of my favourite films. Long but you barely notice how much time has passed since the story is so easy to fall into. It's an almost dreamlike film, dealing with the Vietnam war. The opening scene itself is enough to draw you in, with the soundtrack by The Doors and the juxtaposition between the rising helicopters the steady turning of the blades of a fan in a hotel room. The colours really highlight moods and themes. Great film, I could go on all day about it.
