Another excellent Kubrick film

Rating: 9/10 (13 November 2012)

I am finishing watching all Kubrick films. Now I have only to go for The Killing and Lolita do finish viewing all his "proper" films. This is indeed a among the best films of 1999 (which was a year of several good films), and the 7.2 rating on the IMDb is very low considering the high quality of this film. Though it is certainly not Kubrick's at his best (that was with perhaps 3-4 films, such as 2001, Dr. Strangelove and Barry Lyndon), but it is still above most films released in the 1990's.
This film is very powerful and features several characteristics of Kubrick's films, such as the fact that it is slow moving, artistically accomplished and still entertaining. Kubrick is one of the very few directors that attained artistic greatness combined with entertainment value.
