I want more life....

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2000)

There is no other way to describe this film but MAGNIFICENT. Films like BR renew one's faith in film as a high form of art. Unfortunately, there is no way to fully explain this movie to one who has not experienced it or claims to "not like it." The story is an intricate tapestry. There are so many threads which weave into one another delicately and expertly. Allegory upon metaphor and meaning deeper than anyone can grasp in a hundred viewings. This is certainly one of the finest films ever made. And even aside from the deep meaning, one could rave about the acting, the casting, the music, the lighting, the sets, and on and on and on. See this film. See it many times. And activate the sludge of grey matter most people allow to rot in front of gameshows and formulaic sitcoms. A television or movie screen CAN have virtue...
