One of the Greatest Love Stories of All Time

Rating: 9/10 (13 September 2019)

A romantic relationship that doesn't end in a happy ending is even deeper and more affecting than one that is. The haunting, lingering reality of what could have been. No other film depicts the twist of fate and the sacrifice for what is right more than "Casablanca". No other masterwork of the silver screen has timelessly depicted the tale of two star-crossed lovers and the hand of destiny. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman created one of the greatest onscreen romances in film history. The aesthetic black and white, the memorable one-liners, the fashion, the stirring theme song, the flawless acting and the simple, direct unfolding of the story all rounding up to one of the most unforgettable endings in all of filmdom and one knows one is in the midst of a classic. One work of art that never grows old, this is one that always gives. "Here's looking at you, kid".
