Hollywood at its best

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2000)

This is vintage Hollywood: a great, romantic love story, excellent acting, top-notch production values, very good screenplay! Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt are together again (previously on Legends of the Fall) in a beautiful love story, a remake of The postwar Death Takes A Holiday. Long, but quick-moving: you won't notice that the film is 3 hours long! One of my top 100 films. This is going to be a true cult classic: shunned by critics and missed by millions of film-goers, yet enthusiastically loved by millions since its release on video.
