Supremely clever but will be lost on many

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2019)

If you are over 70 as I am you should be able to appreciate this one. Not everyone will though! I spoke to another old lady afterwards and she said she was unsure. I remember the time, the style, the people, etc. I like not being told what to think and not have everything spelt out for me. I have stated that many times. It is a beautiful masterpiece. I laughed when maybe I should not have but I could see the humour that was embedded in the spectacle before me. The acting is superb as you would expect. The two main characters are very different and portrayed to perfection. One is soft and sensitive and the other is tough and quiet. The last part of the film is a surprise and is very exciting and that is where I saw humour that probably shocked other cinema goers. Visually it shows the time which is set 50 years ago. Movies were big then too. Hollywood was in its hey day. Girls wore mini skirts. Pretty was in! Just soak up the atmosphere. It is a great film and people with a memory and discernment will recognise that.
