Just perfect

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2013)

I really did get a special gut feeling hours before seeing this movie, which is running in theaters here now. I barely knew anything about it, hadn't seen a trailer, didn't know who was directing.
Basically what I knew was that a handful of actors were playing multiple characters of different race, which I had heard from a friend (quote: "it looked kind of weird").
Little did I know that I was in for quite the ride. A magnificent work of story telling with directing and music wanting you to swim into the screen, sometimes to lend one of the many convincing protagonists a helping hand, at other times just to enjoy the marvelous scenery.
The depictions of every characters' journey is very well presented, and when you're already sucked in to one of the scenarios, another one just as capturing is thrown in your face. And they're all beautifully intertwined. I understand that it's based on a book, which I haven't read, but I definitely will after seeing this.
For me, this movie is an instant classic, and I most certainly will see it over and over again for years to come.
