Pure film making

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 1999)

Lean's films are not eveyones cup of tea but it who could fail to see the splendour of this epic production. Suberbly photographed by Freddie Young and absolutely stunning design from John Box go a long way to making this such a breathtaking film. Lean, as ever, takes the film at his own leisurley pace, never hurrying but always moving purposely forward.
This really is an epic film.
