Your Breath sweet scent that is apples

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2003)

Lets get one thing straight u want a straight foward gangster film go rent one this isnt and is far from straight foward.It tells the story of Noodles(De Niro) and his crew featuring James woods in his breakthrough role as Max and there rise and fall as jewish gangsters. This film spans throughout there lives going back and forth which for its time was still quite a risk as the 20 year delay on the final cut will point out. What u do get from this film is a rich textured deep and ultimately heartbreaking tour de force. Never relenting in some quite graphic scenes this film is without flaws but they are too minor to worry about, the fact that the ending has been debated for 20 years leads me to believe that they truly dont make these kind of films then or now. Robert de niro puts in a stunning performance one of his greatest his closing scene in this film is enough to send a shiver down your spine. Ennio morricones music is beautiful and fits the film so perfectly that u can almost smell the city streets. A real gem of a movie.
