the greatest film since blue velvet

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2007)

i have never left a cinema shaking before i saw this movie.it was the night i got my exam results and when the rest of my class where out partying i decided i would go see this movie.i have never regretted it.this film to me is the definition of great cinema.this film has everything,top class directing,perfect acting and casting,superb and haunting soundtrack,beautiful photography and a pure classic feel to it. this is probably my favourite kubrick film next to the shining.i had to see this movie twice in the cinema and i never looked forward to a film coming out on DVD as i did this one.i bought it twice because i knew i would be handing it around to friends to watch.everyone i know hated it.maybe because nothing much happens and what does happen is rarely explained.obviously that far too much to ask of audiences in these days of lord of the rings and spiderman movies. this is without doubt the greatest film to be made since David lynch's blue velvet from 1986.the only film that has since come close to eyes wide shut in David lynch's inland empire.when more films of this standard are made,the sooner we will get to quality films being shown in our cinemas.
