a story within a story and so on, gives Anderson a chance to enchant us all with his wit and skills that already was known from his earlier efforts

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2014)

Artistically a triumph, cinematographically peaking with experiments (variating dimension viewing formats e.g. 16:9, 4:3, 16:10 e.t.c. regardless from their cinematic-friendly potentials), and finally some screen writing common sense providing narrative coherence (the technique of off-narration hadn't been used thus, since the time of Good Fellas and Casino)with deliberate and tight pacing of rhythm, that maximizes suspense and leads into a grand finale only to retrieve back into the opening sequences once more.. i'm not commenting on the all - star cast performances, or on the intriguing music score, which were more than adequate and efficient to finally help the filmmaker visualize this wonderful project. At last a clear and undisputed nomination for cinematic Brilliance!! If the music band tool ever made a film this one easily could be it!! A film that many contemporary creators should envy..
