When night falls the Prince kills Sophie in a drunken rage.Eisenhiem filled with vengeance decides to astonish the town by putting his plan into action.
I truly enjoyed watching this film and would like to watch it again.I sense that the film will be nominated for a number Oscars due to the fact that many movies have been very disappointing this year.Edward Norton who i haven't seen for quite some time is brilliant in this film and perhaps will be mentioned in the best actor category.Paul Giammati who has deserved an Oscar for Sideways could being going for the same category as well.And the film it self could be up for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture.I stand strongly by this film and hope that others see it.
