A Perfect 10

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2015)

I do not relinquish 10 stars often. This movie is a monument to Wes Anderson and the art of movie-making. Less than a minute in, I KNEW I was watching a Wes Anderson movie; that little alarm in my head went off that said "this movie's "feel", pace, clipped and precise diction, and the zoom in/zoom out and blocking remind me of Moonrise Kingdom!" (Well, no kidding, Sherlock.)
The cinematography is both awe-inspiring and will take your breath away... one feels as if you ARE there in war-torn Eastern Europe, with the vile, brash and harsh reality of war encircling you.
The other reviewers here have covered all the bases. No sense in duplicating their commentary with the same lavishing of compliments. For a true delight, you MUST watch this movie.
