Creme de la creme

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2007)

When I first happened upon this movie I did not yet know what I was getting into. I knew the makers by their previous works but was not yet a fan. The first time I saw it I didn't understand what was going on. The second time I watched it I knew the plot and could therefore concentrate on the subtleties. That is what makes this film greatness. The Big Lebowski is a shining example of what film should be, a perfect marriage of superior quality writing and heart-felt acting from the masters of their respective professions, with an attention to detail unlike any other. Materials of the finest quality mature with age and stand the test of time. This film never gets old and only improves with each sequential viewing the way summer block-busters never can. Take a chance. Give this one another look. Invest ninety minutes of your life into this film.
