unmatched in world cinema

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2000)

Quite simply - one of the greatest films ever made. Not for the faint hearted, and paced to try the patience of those accustomed to fast edited pap, this movie has stayed with me since the day I first saw it. Every few years I gather the courage to watch it again, and it never fails. I doubt if Hollywood - or any other film-making centre - will ever be able to equal Come and See in terms of intelligence, strange beauty, and sheer emotional power.
