This film is a masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2005)

Just returned from seeing what for me is the Best Film of The Year. Actually, not just of the year. One of the Best Films .... period. This film is a masterpiece. Direction by Ang Lee that is subtle, yet sure. A performance by Heath Ledger that is astoundingly crafted. Career peak performances by Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Williams. A magnificent screenplay by Larry Mc Murtry and Diana Ossana ... adapted and expanded from a wisp of a novella. Breath taking cinematography by the great Rogrigo Pietro. Assured editing by Geraldine Peroni and Dylan Tichenor. All combined to tell a gut wrenching love story of such power that you are totally, physically and emotionally, drained, yet exhilarated at the same time.
