Beautiful photography

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2007)

A pleasant movie, overall. Pleasant enough that I didn't notice how long the movie ran - a sure sign of quality film making. Matt Damon was really miscast in his role. A good actor, sure, but too youthful looking for the part.
There are some technical distractions in the film, such as the use of a transistorized hearing aid just after World War II. Bell Lab engineers hadn't even got transistors on paper then.
But it's the photography that takes the prize in The Good Shepherd. One could choose just about any frame at random and come up with an individual work of art.
Buy the DVD when it comes out, turn off the sound, and enjoy some wonderful art.
