A masterpiece of lighting before it was even true art. In the year 2000, it's still ahead of it's time.

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2000)

Believe me when I say, I thought this film would be artsy mumbo-jumbo. A film critics loved, but I would despise. I have never been more wrong about anything. This film delivers on all levels: storytelling, cinematography, lighting(something I generally don't care about), acting, and a daunting message of humanity in a man seeming devoid of it. It is the defining moment in this most american of art forms. Changed everything and still is. If you haven't seen it, do so, now. I mean, go get it right now!!!
