Still great

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2014)

It has been many years since I first saw the Sunrise/Sunset films, but Sunset in particular remains clear in my mind as one of my favorite movies. I truly enjoyed the acting and writing. Though it was made with a relatively small budget, it does not feel technically confining at all. In fact the cinematography is very impressive. There are long uncut scenes that must have been quite difficult for the Steadicam crew, but the results are quietly amazing. The focus on the characters is simultaneously intense and relaxed, and I don't know if I've ever felt so close to both the characters and their environment at the same time. The closing scene is wonderful.
