Beautifully filmed, wonderfully told

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2013)

This film is beautiful with the colours vivid and vibrant. It all adds to the over-the-top lifestyle depicted in the story. The central love story is very poignant and the ending ( not revealed here) leaves you very thoughtful as you ponder what just happened at what may have happened.
The sets, costumes and soundtrack all blend together to provide a wonderful tapestry of excitement in some places and quite the opposite in others. I found the film stimulated a wide range of emotions in the viewer (me) so by the end I had been on quite a journey , so to speak.
All of the actors did a great job, especially Leonardo (who is consistently great in all of his film, except the Man In The Iron Mask where he was awful - but that's another story).
