Fifty Million People Watched?

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 1999)

Fifty Million People Watched and No One Saw a Thing. . .proclaimed the film's tagline. In the case of this movie, fifty million people didn't watch and of those who did, it seems very few saw anything at all.
That this movie -- surely one of the best of the decade -- did not prove profitable is one of the reasons more good movies are not made. Just think -- there's no violence, no invented love interest, just a lot of good writing, acting, and direction.
It's also beautifully shot and has nifty music.
Definitely 10/10.
