Nothing New To Say

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2003)

This film continually amazes me. I have seen this film many, many times and never tire of it. There is not a minute in the film which I am thinking "Get a move on".
Every moment the visuals are stunning. Starting with Luc Besson's traditional opening of the Camera skimming over the surface, here the sea, Leon (The Professional), with the New York street and I seem to remember the same in Le Femme Nikita. A beautiful introduction with the young Jacques Mayol filmed in Black and White which you don't always realise till the remainder of the film continues in colour.
I could go on but you only get 1,000 words here and I do not want to give it all away, though many have before me.
I do want to say just one thing, how, upon seeing Le Version Longue could anyone decide to cut away any one scene never mind 40+ minutes and then to replace the perfect music from Eric Serra. As good as he may be (Conti) surely his music and style could not match Eric Serra's for this film.
I love this film so much I only lend my DVD to people whose opinion I can rely on as being positive.
Please if you have not seen it, SEE IT AND PLEASE PLEASE LOVE IT!!
