A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2000)

This Film seems to me to be a must for all people whose perception did not yet suffer by the vast amount of media rubbish. Having read almost all comments to this film I must realize that people do love or do hate this film. There seems to be almost nothing in between. I loved this film. The photography, the actors, the deepness of the characters and the story. All this made a fabulous film which tells you much about the essence of human life. And on wonder this film got 9 Oscars. Believe it or not, this was the main reason, why I came to see this film only now. It seemed to me to be very much in the tradition of David Lean Films. I had to think of Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson in Leans "Brief Encounter". But in TEP the story goes much further. Go and experience this extraordinary Film! A Film you will not forget, if...... see above. A "10" for this masterpiece.
