a masterpiece of mood and beauty

Rating: Null/10 (1 December 2000)

One of my all-time favorites, this film brings me to tears whenever I see it. It strikes deep into the soul for it's compassion to someone whose life was a hell on earth. Why this has yet to see a release on DVD is bewildering (as I've seen it only on television in a "pan-and-scan" format, I'm anxious to see it in it's original Panavision framing). The acting is superb from all involved, the cinematography is flawless. By all means see this beautifully touching film.
