A brilliant film

Rating: 9/10 (22 August 2003)

It is hard to sum up the greatness of this movie. The dialogue captures the complexity of characters in conflict with themselves. Of course, the words would be nothing without the delivery of the incredible cast. The film rises to a crescendo, and crashes its way into your memory permanently. It was one of the first four DVDs that I purchased many years ago. If you get a chance, search out a copy of the original screenplay. It stays a little truer to the theme, but didn't have the same ending as the final movie.
