Greatest film ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 1999)

There you have it. There has never been another film (with the possible but not-quite-all-the-way exception of "Life is Beautiful") that has captured as much about all the aspects of the human condition as this one does. From the absurdity of war to the tragedy of the ruling class to the liberating power of love, Renoir put it all in there. And he did it with an incredible script and some of the best cinematography this side of "American Beauty."
