Aestheticism, poetry and art

Rating: 10/10 (20 September 1998)

I shall not repeat that this is the best movie of all time, but rather say why it is so. I've seen the film many times, every time with intense admiration and emotion. I've also read the book, which is a really excellent one, but is overshined by it's other format. TEP has no faults, no weaker parts, no flaws, it's perfection on every level. It's just gonna blow you away and take you into a place where nothing will ever compare to this experience. I've had my piece of heaven, and it lies in TEP. There has never been a better story, a better script, better music or better directing, to honor the big screen. And to honor the viewer. Finally, a work of art, that holds no prejudice against it's audience. "We die. We die rich with lovers and tribes. Tastes we have swallowed. Bodies we have entered and swum up like rivers. Fears we have have hidden in....... I want all this marked on my body. We are the real countries. Not the boundaries drawn on maps, the names of powerful men. I know you will come to carry me out into the palace of winds. That's all I wanted. To walk in such a place with you. With friends. An earth without maps..." A poem of a movie...
