Absolutely brilliant ode to film

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2012)

Perhaps the best Martin Scorsese film ever. That is saying a lot. One can't help wondering if he may have been a bit influenced by Jeunet et Caro's "City of lost Children". A beautiful, magical tribute to the heights that film can achieve. A celebration of creativity and the minds that dare to go there, sometimes to their own detriment. Watching this allowed my imagination to see a young Scorsese completely engulfed in a magical world that would become his future. The young male lead had eyes that pierced and Chloe Grace Moretz was amazing as usual. This is a very beautiful film for people who love film. Cinema Paradiso for 2011. I laughed, I cried, I loved.
