Oh my.

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 1999)

A very learned friend of mine once said that this was the closest film would ever come to the great operas of European legacy. I'm not inclined to disagree. This was the finest piece of celluloid I've ever encountered, along with 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was tense, beautifully shot, unbelievably acted (Brando is a genius. That's it.), and had everything else going for it that could possibly be good about a film. Oh my.
