Instantly one of my Top 10 films of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2006)

I bought the hardcover graphic novel when it first came out, just couldn't wait. I should go back and re-read it, but my first impression of the film was surprise at how *little* it actually deviated from the graphic novel.
I'm going to see the movie again as soon as possible. Maybe tonight, or at the very latest Sunday.
I can't remember the last time I shed tears in a movie theater. The visuals, combined with the themes of hope, loss & redemption, were almost overwhelming. At times it had that ethereal "2001-ish" quality, but tempered by Aronofsky's humanism.
